I'll never forget the first 1936 I saw in person. I was 9 years old and walking home from school. It was the last day of school. On the way home a guy was visiting my neighbor and drove his 36 Ford 5 window. Beautiful original car. Knowing what I know now I believe it was a "springtime color", almost a turquoise. Went home with a smile on my face. Got to see an old Ford and didn't have to worry about school for the summer. That night Bobby Kennedy was shot in L.A., June 5th of 1968.
