It may not be a hot rod but its still interesting
Well I finally got to a site that would decrease the size of my photo's and that's on Yahoo Photo.
Well anyway I finally attached a picture of my own personel cruszer. Its a 1942 Dodge Black four Door sedan (A friend of mine call it a supper market lead slead). It is a very rare car as it was produced after the second world war started and was only sold to people who could help the war effort out. This paticular car was sold to a farmer, who by the way only lives about a mile from me. I have run into people who remember this car when they were in grammar school in the earlly 50's.
The car it self is powered by a wopping sraight 6 with about 90 horse power and a Taxable horse power of 25.35. To get all this power down to the road it has a Fluid Drive automatic and a three speed transmission. I think it might do the quarter mile in about 10 minutes or so. But this is an old machine and I don't beat it all and if I tried it wouldn't do anything anyway.
I left the interior alone because it still is in fair condition and I didn't want to have a car that didn't show its own charater.
I do love hot-rods but this is a historical car and I just couldn't cut and tear at it just to say its mine. Its really not mine I'm only a caretaker of it and thats the way I feel about this old dodge.Restoration is the only way! But hot rods are cool also!
I believe this was somewhere around 2015, Rick, Rosie and Johnboy
