And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Back in the early oilpatch days in Texas, perforators used to use these. They would roll up at a drilling rig, open the trunk, and in the trunk was a slickline winch drum, driven by a PTO. They would set up the perforating guns, hook'em up to the wireline, and cycle down the hole to perforate a well so it could start producing oil. Never saw one myself, before my time, but a lot of old timers have told me about these. Imagine driving around with a trunk full of perforating shaped charges rattling around in your trunk, and rolls of primacord. A lot of them were ex WWII special ordnance (demolition) men, and have crazy to boot.
My blessed grandmother had a '39 Ford businessman's coupe. She tried to give it to me during high school but my parents said, "No." So, she used it as a trade in for a 1962 Chevy II. What a sad time of my life.
Yes, it is. 1946-48? I always liked the way Ford used the lower door shapes to cover the running boards.
ReplyDeleteSalesmen kept a lot of junk in the trunk. =~ )

ReplyDeletemonkey business...
ReplyDeleteAre we sure about the year? [Google's pictures do not match].
ReplyDelete'39 I think
ReplyDeleteNot a 39. The 38- 40 had a very different body shape. This body style changed only a little until the 49 "shoebox" came out.

Aggie has it right, '46-48' Definitely post-war. It's a Business Coupe if it does not have a rear seat.
ReplyDeleteLooks like something from a robert crumb cartoon. All it needs is Mr Natural standing proudly beside it.
