    A bit corny but true to the times and early TV. Warning you may never get this 13 minutes 14 seconds back! Ha ha

    I Like the 1953 prices mentioned in the video.

    1953, I was 9 years old and my mother made $12.00 a week as a legal secretary in southern Oklahoma. Still, I enjoyed the video, thanks.

    I used to love watching The Life Of Riley and remember seeing the hot rod episode. Maybe corny by today's standards, but we were happy with what we had and it wasn't the trash that's on now.

    Getting overly excited to get the flathead out they were rather rough on that 32 grille & shell.

    At the time, Hot Rod magazine had an article about this episode.
