I'm curious, am I the only person that really doesn't like for that type car...and can't stand the music? Please let there be at least one other person...

I'm with you Tim. Not my cup of tea. But you guys who do enjoy that music, more power to you. This is the great USA!!!

Great find. Love the music and the cars. I have for the last 5 years gone to Back to the 50's Weekend in MN. My mom's side of the family is a bunch of car guys.

Here's a couple links to what my uncle's and my grand parents have.

Thanks for the great memories. Those where the days. When life was so much simpler.

Outstanding vid Ben. I wonder if there is a "hands free" adapter for the phone??

Ask a kid these days what a horn ring is... LOL

Great times to be a motorhead. I spent 8 years and all my spare (precious little) money customizing a '50 Chebby coupe .... all body seams filled, frenched headlights, push-button doors/trunk, lowered, Pontiac grill, tail lights filled/replaced with molded-in, 400 inch Olds V8 engine (which replaced a 270 GMC w/ 3 carbs). That brought back memories, I also had a '32 Ford coupe and a '40 Ford convert.
