My Dad bought used cars whatever he found that was a 'buy'. I think one he regretted was the '54 Nash Ambassador. Hard to park, no power steering, and had the "continental tire kit" which was a disaster for trunk acess. Just an example. He owned a few ponchs, and only one old Dodge pu, which had a bad flathead which he re-ringed.
My first mopar was bought in late 70? or so, a 69 383 RR and not much later bought the 70 440-6 from a friend and then a 64 426. That was in the Navy days at San Diego, NAS Miramar. I sure wish I had that '70 back. The kid I sold it to in the mid 70's is STILL a crackhead and asshole, and paranoid. No idea what became of the car
The better photo with steel wheels was when the original owner and I had gone to Lions, he stationed at Long Beach.
