Stop in for a cup of coffee
Sweet one of my favorites.
Mine too. When I was a kid workin' at the Chevron station, I had money in the bank, my Ranchero to drive, and school to keep me out of trouble mostly. My folks always got the Sunday LA Times on Saturdays, when the Sunday edition was 4" thick at the news stand. Had a great classified ad section.
I'm readin' the classifieds and find a '39 or '40 Willys Coupe for not a lot of $$. "Hey Dad! Look at this!" I knew he was a hot rodder and '40 Fords were real high on his list. That vintage, the Willys and Ford coupes were so similar lookin' to me, either one would do for me. My folks had a commercial property they rented out and part of that yard they had some of their things stored. I'm thinkin' that '63 Merc wagon with the 430, auto, and 9" was a good hot rod donor, it was parked for electrical reasons. "You're not puttin' one of those ugly SOBs in my garage!" was his response to my finding the Willys in the paper :rofl:
