1951 Mercury 4-door with a flat head and three-on-the column in 1962.
It was given to me by the neighbor across the street. I would run ‘errands’ for him using the car. Always got a hell of a tip toward ‘gas money’.

He was pretty annoyed when I didn’t want to go to work at his butcher shop as opposed to going off to college.
Those were the days.
No telling what was going on in the back of the ‘butcher shop’.
