When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Very interesting pic..........must be the way they checked HP back in the day. Obviously the innards of that equiptment was similar to the old weight scale we're all familiar with. I'm guessing hp was measured by how much weight could be moved at a given rpm..............or, am I way off?
Lots of Brylcream in that pic also, lol.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Yup. But only because his name was mentioned when I ran across that pic years ago. Doubt I would have otherwise. The pic was titled as being his first car.  :003:
I thought I posted the same pic & the name here a while back. Maybe not since I don't find it.

He must have a Ford thing going, as he later played that truly great role in Gran Torino !

  Dirty Harry and Magnum Force, both movies he drove a 68 and 72 Custom 500's. In the Enforcer he went down hill a bit and drove a Satellite or Sebring.

this is some outright interesting trivia here ! sorry for watermarks. og press photo is available on ebay.

Quote1956 Press Photo citizens of Moscow looked at, 1957 Ford Sedan near Kremlin Wall
This is an original press photo. Curious citizens of Moscow inspected a 1957 Ford Sedan near the Kremlin wall Monday. The car belongs to the United States state department. It was flown to Russia ahead of its unveiling in this country. Seven other new Fords will be sent to the Moscow embassy later. All were purchased for $1 each. Ford-Automobile Photo measures 8 x 7.75 inches. Photo is dated 10-2-1956.
