Paid a whopping 50 bucks for this with no tranny....didn't know Original Mark so I bought one at a salvage yard and installed. With I still had....41 Chevy Coupe, a real chick magnet!

When I was young ( after getting out of the Army ) I was working at a gas station and doing whatever it took to make ends meet. I bought and sold more cars ( jumped the titles on may ) than I can remember. Sometimes several in a day. More than once during the early days "Red" would call me and ask what kind/color of car she was driving. She had been in the store, came out and forgot what she was driving. True story.

Dad had a 57 Coronet.... I remember the car. Pushbutton tranny that used to fail on occasion causing my mother much consternation.
Pretty rusted out when it was traded in '65.

Let's play a guessing game....which Wood is responsible for the following quote and what is he referring to?


It's like a tampon string, only longer.

OH, Mark, I'm sorry that is incorrect. Let's see how much you wagered. Ooooh, that leaves you in third place with just $400 during the regular Jeopardy round.

First car best I remember, was a 1951 Packard Hearse.
Used it to haul the band around and take dates out with it.

Not sure but I think no pregnancies..I hope.
