I had a 53 Ford with a home garage paint job done by Dad and one of his well meaning crazy friends with an egg shell white top and some left over John Deer Tractor green body. Poor Dad and Leroy were so proud of it. I never did have the heart to tell them how dorky it really looked. But I was glad when the old flat head Mercury V8 block cracked so badly we had to sell it. I always blamed my failure with gals on that ugly old Ford, but somehow the bad luck seemed to stick long after the car was gone. I dunno' do you think it could have been the after shave??
