My first car, in 1966 was a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 312 V8. It was rusty, and ran very rough. I paid $50 for it. I got it to run well by relacing the distributor which had a worn bushing and wouldn't hold dwell. But it had bad steering parts and kind of dragged one front weel. Nevertheless, I got it up over 100 mph on the interstate. I used it to deliver pizzas for about a year before the left front steering knuckle fell off along with the wheel. Luckily, I was preared for that day, and I had a screwdriver, hammer and chisel in the trunk. So I unscrewed my license plate, chiseled the VIN tag off of the door post, left the car on the street,,and walked home. My next car was a 1957 Desota.... But that's another story.
