Woohoo, bringing back memories.
My first sports car was a 53 Chevy 4-door. Before you say, "hey wait a minute", did anyone ever measure across the rear seat. I as a sixteen year old, could lay on the seat, entirely, and not touch both doors(still had some growing to do.
Then my next car was a 54 XK120M, lovely car. That's where I decided I was going to be a mechanic, so I could fix my own cars, as I sure couldn't pay anyone to work on it, working at a gas station and a root beer stand.
Then a 40 Ford Coupe Deluxe, with 39 LaSalle gearbox, tube shocks, small block Chevy(265, that tells you how early it was), black tuck and roll interior with a chrome glove box lid, fluorescent orange/red paint job with real Halibrand mags on it...
A 57 Ford four door(another sleeper) started as a 292, wound up with a Merc 352, won a few orange grove drag races with that one.... Ah Youth, the memories made..
