My driver's ed class was in a Cutlass Supreme (mid '70s) and I took my test in my 1956 Olds 88. I don't think the patrolman paid any attention to my driving as he was busy looking around the car.

Neat car, but "as vintage as possible" with the projected new driveline? Love watching projects unfold.

It seems like one of those get-you-home donut spares. Not for highway speeds...

My 1958 Citroen 2CV van has a dash knob you rotate to physically tilt the headlights. Hard to flash your high beams with this setup.

I just sold an NOS spotlight that had a kit for mounting on a 1957 Ford and those look quite similar if my memory is correct.

Bought my 2CV Van (1958) on a whim at an auction. I, of course, paid too much but isn't that what auctions are for? At any rate, after getting it running and putting brakes under it, we have had all sorts of fun with it. Yes, popping off the front fenders does make it easy to work on especially with those inboard brake drums! We too this picture in downtown Delaware, OH last summer. It is quite a conversation starter.

I'm sure his GPS device is saying "recalculating."

Would the Henry J offered as the prize be worth the cost of this ticket today?

Did someone photoshop out the guy in the background of one of the colorized photos? His elbow is behind the hood ornament. Guess he wasn't really needed in this shoot.

How is that guy sitting in the back? Knees pulled up, probably uncomfortable.

That road has more berm space beyond the pavement than quite a few in my area.

My indispensable tools? Anything I have from my Dad.

You would think that he would at least put the heavy end in first.

Was she doing something wrong?

As always, I'm impressed by the knowledge shown here - right down to the details. Thank you!

This caught my eye while out running errands yesterday. What might it be? I had nothing to measure with to help identify.

Back downtown today and this is what I spotted:

1950 Chrysler Windsor

As with the replies you received about going from 6V to 12V, there really isn't any need to change the brakes either. They were engineered for this car and work great. I owned a 1950 Chrysler and a 1951 DeSoto and never had a bit of trouble or anxiety with the brakes. Save your money for that perfect paint job or interior!
