Default A dyed in the wool sports car.

With electrical gremlins to boot. Nice, clean, fun car.

Also nice is the weather we're having. Where did you get your white gauge faces? I like 'em.

Default Ah....My very first of 49 cars......>>>

Not a twin cam, but a plain old 1500 1957 version bought from a junkyard when I was 16 for $125. In high school, 3 of us had them...It was a riot on cold winter days in Philadelphia. We all used to get the cranks out to start them. Those twin 6 volt batteries behind the seat twarnt much good in the winter. Lots of good memories there. The only car my wife never knew.....

Default Sports cars in Philly....

My dad grew up in South Philly and terrorized the streets with his Healy 100-4 in the late 50's/early 60's. He unblocked 1st gear and through burnouts and learning how to execute proper 4-wheel drifts on cobble streets also became a master spokes replacer.
