    I suppose someday 'they' will tell me I can only drive my '55 T-Bird on Saturdays between 5 and 7 AM. Wouldn't want to annoy other 'drivers'.

    1.) Wow. Spectacular car.
    2.) The EU just passed a law that slows down speeding cars.

    I guess that makes Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris irrelevant.
    - After I ask a stranger if I can pet their dog and they say yes, I like to respond, "I'll keep that in mind" and walk off
    - It's above my pay grade. Mongo only pawn in game of life.

    Neato torpedo car, Rick.

    I worked with a man who owned one ('55) in the turquoise blue similar to this:

    Geez, Rick. It only took you four pages until you got to what you really wanted to talk about... (That's about as far from a self-driving Tesla as you can get.)

    Does that have custom fenders/ headlight extensions? Looks like the headlights protrude farther forward from the bumper than what I remember or see on other pictures,

    Just the angle of the pic Bob. It is all original except for a few minor mods. It was built in Sept '54, and is one of the first 250 T-Birds.

    That is my grand daughter driving it. She will be graduating with a degree in (honest) Funeral Services. Already does embalming. She also just got engaged to a rocket engineer in Texas.

    And yes, I can talk about old cars all day, owned close to 200.
