Re: My Facetruck thread.
In the fifties it was not at all unusual for young people to leave here for Wichita or Kansas City for work. They would come back to visit and it was not unusual to see them driving some kind of factory hot rod.
One weekend ole John Ross came into town sporting a new 440 Six Pack, 4 speed, Road Runner.
John, Donnie and Lindel spent most of the afternoon drinking so by 10 PM they didn't have a worry in the world. Law enforcement was pretty sparce around here back then. They would intentionally find a local cop or deputy and then out run him. they did that for hours one Saturday night, and never got apprehended. The cops finally just gave up and went up to John's mothers house Sunday Morning. They figured it was safer for everybody.
