What a black beauty! Love all the gauges on the dashboard. Love that pool ball shifter. And you put in seatbelts! I can imagine the 327 engine, no problem. What a terrific car, a real sleeper, I'll bet you raced it now and then against surprised unsuspecting victims.

I also had a Kodak Pony years ago... with a big knob on the top, a big spring, that you could wind up to advance the film for a bunch of shots. I remember it for a good sharp lens, and your scans here sure show that! Thanks for sharing your car story.. did you go on to be a mechanic or car designer?

Thanks Jon.  I wish I still had it.  I'd drive it out to Tombstone to show it off to your club.  I'm pretty sure it would make it. Probably.  It would be fun to try...

No, I never went into the car business.  My real love was airplanes, but I washed out of flight school early on due to my eyes.  My second love was photography.  After my 4-year stint in the AF I went to work for a commercial photo lab for about 6 years, and then joined ILFORD.  I stayed with ILFORD for 30 years in various positions, all in the Western Region.  But I still love cars, and bikes, and planes!
