But for now
Relying on memory alone
Moms first car was actually an International Harvester 1640 farm tractor circa 1948. Yes she grew up on farm. My granddad let her drive the tractor to & from school so she could go straight to work when she got home. I think also she had stuff to do before school.
Dads first car was a Deuce-&-a-half, He had no car before he joined the Army, they gave him a truck to drive, only while on duty though.
He saved his money and when he got out, bought a Brand new 1958 Ford, I don't remember which model.
Well memory's workin OK today.
