Cotton pickin' bunch o' kids. My first car was a "28 Model A Ford coupe. I
learned to drive in a '34 International pickup, with no brakes at that. LOL
Shoot, you couldn't keep brakes on those things with mechanical brakes,

gear. Then it was slip the clutch to get it stopped. Had a lot of fun in
Grandpa's old truck.
