When the new cars were headed to the dealers they were covered so you could not see them. It was great rushing to the dealerships to see the new cars because they actually changed unlike today. My fist ride was a 57 Plymouth four-door, flathead six, three speed on the column. No radio, nothin' but me and my gal loved it as it took us everywhere.
got this in 1968 , while on leave, my first car was a 1948 Willis car , I brought for 25 dollars, at age nine , I used two pillows, I could see in between the stearing wheel to drive my mom to town
