This was in 1957 when I was a sophomore in HS. My father found me a 39 Chevy business coupe for which I paid $35. It had no power which was fine with my Dad, but not me. I soon sold it, bought a '47 Ford Coupe for $50, dropped an Olds V8 in it, giving the flathead V8 to my brother to put into his Model A coupe. It went on from there, 49 Chevy, 53 Buick, 55 Chrysler, 56 Merc convertible, 55 Jaguar XK120 roadster, '57 Caddy Fleetwood...and more. I bought and sold them through HS and college.
