First Model A w/V8 60 in 1959 Raced at Beals Pond Rye NH at age 14. Traded it for a 1936 Ford 3 window coupe dropped 5" in front with scavenger pipes on stock flathead. Sold this to an airman for $50.00 at PAFB who called later in the week cause he wanted his $50.00 back because it did not pass state inspection-I'd like to hear from him today! Took the $50.00 and bought a 1947 Ford convert with a 54 Merc OHV motor off a used car lot in Portsmouth NH .It Smoked like Hell all the way home-no first gear. When I went off to boarding school my father sold it for $10.00 because it wasn't being used and in his way.Had 5 motorcycles..BSA Gold Star,Triumph Thunderbird,Harley Davidson, & 2 Honda Scramblers 160+305. while attending school to the the mid 60s.Pictures of all my early cars & bikes somehow got lost when I was in the Army overseas .
