Congratulations Steve for 50 years of great ownership!  I enjoyed meeting you at the national ford show in Carlisle in 2021. You and your car presented well.

It's great that you guys kept your cars all these years, I have seen so many people sell their cars and then have nothing but a story about what they used to have.

I feel like I'm 21 and chasing girls again when I get behind the wheel. I can't run as fast as I used to but the women I'm after are slower too 🤣
