You're about 44 years too late. My first car was a '51 Merc tudor. The VERY first thing I did before driving it home was remove the original skirts...............who wanted to look like an old man!!!
Oh, BTW, paid $125 for the whole car............rust free, So Cal car, cherry original interior, recent rebuilt engine, good tires, brakes, paint, yada yada............just a good ol' 11 year old used car.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Sounds kind of like my first car, a '52 Ford ragtop for the same $125 except it was an Ohio car with a fresh flatty and overdrive.

Bob, did the same thing with a 51 Bel Air Hardtop. First thing that went were the skirts. Don't even know what I ever did with them. Funny what we did in 62.
