I have no picture but when I was 16 Dad bought me a used Ford Fairlane, 2 doors, rusty brown color that was a 1966 or '67. Had to keep both feet firmly on the brakes when I put it into reverse or the tires squealed as it took off. I didn't get into any trouble except I ran into a ditch during a snowstorm coming home thru the country after a basketball game. Dad came to pull me out and never said a word; I guess he felt a little guilty turning me loose in such a car. Maybe it had the police engine like Tinker's!
