Car hops. Show off your summer cruiser

[tedzan]

My summer season cruiser......1957 Thunderbird hardtop convertible.

312 cu in V8....4-barrel Holley carb....3-speed stick shift w/Overdrive






I think you'll like this story....in the mid 1970's, I was cruising on the Garden State Parkway (NJ) doing 75 MPH. Suddenly, a State Trooper was on my tail.
I slowed down and moved over to the right lane. As he approached closer, I could hear him on his PA system asking me...."If I wanted to sell the T-Bird ?"
I nodded my head....NO. When he pulled alongside me, he said...."I'll pay you whatever you want for it". Again, I nodded ....NO.

He smiled and said.."I don't blame you, it's a really cool car". Then he sped away. Boy, did that make my day. I thought I was in for a heavy duty speeding
ticket since I was driving 20 MPH over the speed limit.
