The Ford Barn

I was just wondering if anyone would like to talk about a car that got away from them that they now have regrets about. When I was 15 years old, my Great-Great Uncle was 94 years old. He had a 1950 Ford Coupe that he had stopped driving because of his age. He offered to let me have the car if I wanted it. The only problem was that we would have to transport the car home a distance of 285 miles. My Dad said that he wasn't going to haul that piece of junk home and have it all over the back yard. So it eventually got towed off and scrapped. I still think about how cool that would have been for a first car.
