I remember the first car I owned. It was a 1956 Chevy Bel Air. It was 10 years old when i got it for Hefty $50 dollars. It was a standard shift 4 speed. I had no idea how to use the clutch. I would always stay away from stopping on hills. Too little you stall , too much you would roll back into the car behind you. Not good either way.
In those day you took off the hubcaps and painted the rims Black. You would then put on chrome lug nuts or a shinny Baby Moon. It look really sharp and fast that way. I can't believe I said that.
Forget about Air bags, because it had a solid steel dashboard. No padding back then. One quick-stop and you would loose your smile.
Only AM radio then. No FM or stereo. If you could you would install a back speaker to make it sound like a stereo.
More to come !!
