Was channel surfing and caught an oldie on the AMC. The scene was a flat tire on the road shoulder. Guy was changing it for cute girl in ’56 T-bird. The remarkable thing to me was that, and I had forgotten all about it, but back then you put the jack under the bumper and lifted the entire weight of the beast from the bumper. Cain’t do that no mo. Here is a great link about cars that where made of steel, had Road-a-Matic steering and Air-Scoop brakes (super cooled) and the dimmer switch was on the floor! I particularly enjoyed the linear look ’59 Olds 98 section. Dad had a 2 door holiday hardtop SceniCoupe. (and a Rocket V-8 — used it to ride the range) Be sure and read the ‘car in the barn story’ too.
