I had a cute little blue '58 600 I bought new, Ford Kid. I loved it.
40 mpg was a snap, but I never managed to get fifty mpg out of it. I came close once on a trip from Fort Worth to Austin (I'll admit that I drove about 55 all the way with a healthy tail wind).
I'd like to have one like it now!

I used to have a '59 in the early 60's. Loved that little car. Hate that I sold it. Have always wanted to transplant a 140 hp Corvair engine/transaxle with fender flares to cover the tires and softer springs. Should be fun.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

A friend of mine had one, it was a lot of fun. But with four of us kids on board, every dog in the neighborhood could out run us.Bob
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail....but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying..."Damn....that was fun!
