LOL, remember you had to let up on the accelerator a bit so there was enough vacuum to clear the rain on the windshield... When you accelerated the wipers stopped! My Willys Jeep had vacuum with a hand crank for manual operation.

Anybody else remember watching the RADIO?

Tom Mix, Suspense, Amos & Andy, Jack Benny and Rochester, The Shadow,Jack Armstrong - The All American Boy, etc, etc.

LOL, I’ll have you know that my 41 Ford, was lowered, had fender skirts, and the sweetest singing mufflers you ever heard.

My mother always said that I had loud mufflers.

Why did we like them so loud?

I loved that car.

It even had a good radio and was a metallic dark green, a forerunner of the paints that would come later.
