I definitely agree. I remember working on cars with my brother and dad as a kid. Now, I look under the hood and don't even want to touch it.

I think the last car of my own I worked on was my 1973 Chevy Impala. Been a while. My Dad could only barely tolerate me hanging around when he was working on his 1936 Ford Coupe. Alas, it was destroyed in a garage fire years ago, but see there's a whole darn Flickr group now: http://www.flickr.com/groups/426073@N21/

Note the "rumble seat" in back. No seat belts. The most fun any kid could have!




PS Why is our attachment quota set to an uber-low 100K (about two jpegs)? Disk space is cheap these days.

That's a pity that it was lost. That's a beautiful restoration job.

Oh sorry, that's a picture from the web. Dad's was being restored when the fire broke out. No clue if any actual pictures exist as that was 20 years ago.

He must have cried. I would.

Oddly, that thought never occurred to me until just now. But you may be right. He died a couple years later so I guess I'll never know.
