The 1956 Ford car above was my third car, mine was light green and white. Be sure to check the large size picture --> [large picture] [supersize] for a surprise! Link for more about my 1956 Ford Sunliner, click here.
3. Per Jeff Millar (co-author of Tank McNamara (see it link) comic strip-Wikipedia article):
"If you have a land choice, never get behind a Lincoln Town Car"
I wonder why?
4. I would like input on your first car or other car items in your life. Thanks.

Hey Jim... I remember building one of these with my son (a few decades ago) It wasn't very fast, but it won for best PAINT JOB and he loved it... so I guess it worked out fine! ~ jb///
P.S. I'm looking forward to meeting you at BlogStock'08!

Cool picture!! It took me awhile but I finally found the surprise!!
I never had one of these, but my first car that I ever owned was a red 1964 Ford Mustang. I gave $400 for it. Wish I still had it!

Oh, Jim, my beloved first car was a gold Pinto with black painted detailing. I named her Mona, and she served me well.
I hit a parked car once, and then left he scene of the accident. I got down the road, pulled over to a phone booth, and called my mom. She commanded me to return to the scene. It happened right outside of an El Taco restaurant. I went inside to report what I'd done, and they said the owner of the car did not care one bit about it because his car was a clunker.
Whew!! Mona was goood luck for me!!
Pine Derby cars are sad memories for us. My son had a great car and ended up losing because some kids cheated on the rules. He was so forlorn. I have a photo of him looking terribly dejected. It still makes me sad to look at that photo.

Just a quick clarification:
My parents live in CA, but they own a home in AR.
The view is from their back yard here in AR.
I added another sentence to my post to clarify this.
None of us are from AR, but my dad was born in MO.

I enlarged the picture of the calender and never did see a car in the picture.
My first car was a 1950 Studebaker Champion. Black. A former cornpicker I think.

My father had a Bug that was like a Flintstone car with a hole in the floorboard under the driver's seat.
