A guy who lived across the street from me had one, and had owned it since his teens (he was about my age). He didn't let me drive it, but he did take me for a spin in it once. My dad had a '58, but I was too young to drive at the time.

My ex-brother-in-law owned a 1926 Model 'T' Ford, which he had restored himself. He taught me how to start it, and how to drive it. Loads of fun.

Well, he was taking a life or two. Not cranking the Archduke's car to life.


You'd think that Kennedy would have learned an important lesson about convertibles from that event.
