Just how dumb was I?

[Robert/Texas]

This is really interesting. I bought my first new car, a red '53 Ford, standard shift convertible. The dealer had hot rod meetings once a month in downtown Houston. This got me interested in something faster. About a year and a half later I sold the '53 and bought this '34 hot rod. I raced this on the streets and at the drag races until I got drafted in '57. My father drove the car to work every Friday (except when the weather was bad) but I sold it about 6 months after I got out of the army. I sure wish I had kept it but don't know that could be possible (marriage, kids and needing the money).
Anyway, you can see its replacement with the stock '34 roadster in my profile.
