Ok Marv, a couple of questions? The car, a 41 coupe. You had it in the 50s.It was lost in the 37 flood? If the car was built in 41 how did it see the 37 flood? Either way you got me beat. My first car was a pontiac sunbird. Met it's end in a ditch on a stormy night after some serious partying. Can't tell you much other then Casey Jones was playing. Didn't even know I flipped it till I saw the tennies go out the back window. Fortunately noone got hurt, well at least seriously, worst headache I ever had the next day.
