Blue four door 1956 Rambler. It came from the estate of my friends aunt who lived in an apartment she almost never left and kept her car in its indoor garage. The starter motor engaged by pulling back on the shifter lever on the stearing column. It was eventually replaced by a 1965 Pontiac GTO convertable.

I bought a 46 Ford V-8 2dr Sedan used in 55 for a whole $60.( about two weeks of work) I used that much oil in the next 6 months till the holes in pistons wouldn't allow the engine to start. The thing of the day was a chrome sun visor over the windshield and the tail dragging on the ground, Fender skirts were "in" for the back wheels. I sold it for $65 to another kid that had a Mercury V-8 to put in it. He did and that is history.
JC Whitney and Warshawsky were the go to places for parts. They had two different street addresses in the same building I heard. Stock numbers seemed the same for the parts.

Sadly not mate.
My wife would even go so far as to say luckily
But this one, from a few years later, was posted on Facebook by a friend (?) of mine, so that belongs to eternity now.
As this is a thread about cars, what you see the rear end of is my 4th or 5th car. A 87 Chevrolet Astro.
So, in short, a crappy hairdo and a crappy car
