Harry,
Ah, nostalgia! Very similar memories. My courtin’ coupe was a ’30 Model A Ford with a white rolled and pleated Naugahyde interior. Going to the drive-in to watch Ma and Pa Kettle, tilting out the folding windshield to set the Cokes and popcorn on the cowl, pivoting the spring loaded gearshift lever out of the way so there was nothing in the way of snuggling on the bench seat. Ducktail haircut and Elvis included in the mix. Sadly, that is a carefree time that probably marked the pinnacle of life in these United States. One of the benefits of being a geezer…we will always have this snapshot in time to cherish. God bless America indeed. Thanks Harry
