My 50 is at the upholstery shop.
Stupid auto correct. I meant taildragger.
I have always liked Nick Matranga's 40 Merc. But, I saw a tail drag her 34 Ford that looked really cool.
I am going with my sons. 58 Impala, and a 63 Riviera.
My uncle used to say, this car can stop on a dime with nine cents change.
