A friend of mine had sent this over, and I've shared it with a few of you whom I've become acquainted with.
A really, neat story and video! About 17 minutes in duration.

Re: That smile doesn't lie!
17 minutes well spent. Fantastic video! Very well spent.
I'm not a 50's car guy but I'd love to take that one for a spin after warming it up... 115 mph? Naw, but to put it thru it's paces.
Just to see a perspective of Bob's (RIP) love of older Ford's from then.
Thanks Marv.
I watched another older friend move his 60's or 70's Drott, tracked backhoe onto a truck and his mind was quite completely gone yet he KNEW that old backhoe still. Very well in fact. Tony (RIP) put it up on the trailer just last year.
