I owned one of the very coolest cars of the era! 1958 Ford Sky Liner fully retractable hard top Convertible. Way WAY ahead of the curve at the time and now it's available by almost every manafacturer in one form or another. Would you beleive i bought the car USED for $800! Boy cars were a lot cheeper way back then.

24" wheel, single top tube Rollfast most of the time, as I didn't have a drivers license until 1966.
But I got to drive the haywagon, late summers, at the farm, outside of Sheffield, Ont.
(I really didn't "drive" the wagon, The horses knew how to manouever the wagon better than I did.)
