Default Ford Coupes, A Popular Car In Germany In The 50's

Ford coupes in the 50’s were a big thing even when you were stationed miles away in a foreign country. This was taken in the late 50’s in Germany with three of my friends. I remember a story they told of a slickster in the squadron about diagnosing an engine problem. He stuck a long screwdriver down the throat of the carburetor and after a few minutes of diagnosing said “Yep, the cam is wore out!”
Sadly the one on the left passed away just recently and I haven’t been able to find the other two.

Although our numbers are dwindling we still have reunions in Myrtle Beach every year.
