Keith's thread a step back in time reminded me of my first set of wheels.
A 1939 Ford sloper with a flathead V8 and leopard skin seat covers.
the thing was my pride and joy. I payed $50 for it, quite a bit back then.
It got about 12 miles to the gallon and that was the oil it used. I ended up getting sump oil from the local Garage for free and putting that in the thing.
The leopard skin seat laid back, by letting go a leather strap that held it in place. The seat squab having long since given up the ghost. Ace at the drive in.
I wrote it off in a collision with a dickhead in a Holden,(Chevy) I loved that car and wish I had it today.
Tell me about your first one....Car that is.
