The First Family Car
Our family did not possess a car until 1956. Post WWII and public transportation was convenient, affordable and frequent. Then my dad bought a 1936 Ford 10. That's right. 1936. Imagine that. I remember how many sleepless nights he had worrying about insurance premiums and keeping the old Ford running with parts from Skippers in Burnley. That old car spent many a weekend in pieces being cleaned, adjusted and reassembled.
I have since learned the expression "Town Car".
Go for a drive, by all means.
Just don't leave town.
Anyone else remember those thrilling days of yesteryear?
