MY CLASSIC CARS





I'M IN LOVE WITH MY CAR...



Roger Taylor / Queen

Oooh, The machine of a dream, such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin', and the hubcaps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hands on your grease gun
Oh, its like a disease, son
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
Told my girl I had to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks sayin this is the end now
Cars don't talk back, they're just four wheeled friends now
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car, string back gloves in my
automolove!







My First car was a 1957 Ford Custom 300, AKA Betsy, as named by my first girfriend. Seen here is the '57
I bought while retired from the military.
I enjoyed "Betsy" while I had her, but life goes on, circumstances change
This year (2003), I had to sell her.
I have many great memories with this car, it was used as a family car at one point,
Attended many shows and won many trophies.
It's a time I can look back on and enjoy with a smile on my face,
and a warm feeling in my heart.


Betsy came with an original owners manual - GREAT reading. Also in the trunk was a shop manual - good reference for all the modern mechanics who can't work on a car that doesn't have plug and play computer chips. Pictured here is a 1957 magazine featuring the 57 Ford - and why not......




My 1959 Ford Custom 300, AKA Betsy Two. This has been an outstanding car, I feel safe driving her anywhere,
at the drop of the hat. Quiet, smooth, reliable, a good looking '59 which has also done well at car shows.
