Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

Took '57 out for a trip after airing the tires and checking all the fluid levels. Tires down a few pounds, not bad tho. Fluids are all good and off we go to put some fuel in. Those dual fours do get thirsty, LOL.

Motored around town a bit with the Mrs. and then decided to stop at local Braum's Ice Cream store. Two scoops, one of Peanut Butter Cup and one scoop of Cappuccino Chunky Chocolate. Made a good lunch, LOL.

I love the car! I'm glad you're getting to enjoy it.

Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

Thanks Dale, gotta' admit I feel like I'm 19 again when I'm behind the wheel and that 4 speed stick is in my hand, LOL. Listening to the exhaust shifting from 2nd to 3rd then hitting 4th is like music to my ears.

Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

The Mrs. and I kept our two grand daughters overnight this past Thursday and all day Friday for my son and daughter-in-law. They are 6 and 9, both great kids and usually no problems other than they are siblings, LOL. Took them out for lunch at McDonald's, their choice, not G'ma and G'pa's, again LOL. Then afterwards ice cream at our local Braum's. Then....took them for a ride in
'' G'pa's race car " ! Should have heard the squeals and the giggles from both of them ! Windows were down and the pipes were talking a bit. Think they enjoyed it almost as much as G'pa did. Out south of town for a few miles, hit 2nd, 3rd and then 4th just a tad bit. Think they will remember this ride as much as I will !
