My Firest car was a 1951 Ford 4-dr. FlatHead V8
I worked hard for that firest car, Christmas of 1958 my Father gave ME a set of Craftmans Tools and my Mother gave ME a Chilton Manul for Fords and My Uncle Fill gave me a 1951 Ford 4-dr. that had a bad motor and a few dents.
I spent many hours in the gearge after school as my Father watch over Me not saying anthing just nodding fit I was right and walking out the door if I was wroung ! I took 3 month to get it right,3 pistons ,a cam , and all new bearrings to get her running weuff to take my Mother for a ride but I still ran out of gas and dad had to come and get me and pull me home!
