Mike Lemmon's Black Beauty!

[YellowRose]

John Rotella and Dick Rozum wrote an article on Mike's '59 Tbird, in Legendary Ford March/April edition magazine with Dick taking the pictures. I made a web page for Mike about it. You can find it here.

Thanks Ray, again... the guy never stops! I've been hanging around this Forum since its debut,
and have seen a lot of folks come and go... Never anybody as ambitious as this man. Good job, as always.

"Raven" turns 50 years old June 23rd! ...

...and last night I ran her outta gas for the first time. on Father's Day I can't remember the last time I ran out of gas in any car (I think 1974)... I was only a few blocks from the house luckily and it quit in front of one of those Quick-Lube places, so I hollered to an attendant there to help push it out of traffic into their lot as my wife steered. This skinny little kid was not much help!... "this ain't no Camry" I said. All is well now, back in her nest with a full belly.

Sure... went to a nice car show earlier, the rain held off (but I shoulda got gas). To make things worse, a Chevy buddy of mine pulled in to the Quick-Lube lot behind me and yelled " I wish I had a camera" and pulled away.

She's pretty tuff, grew up driving old Falcons/Comets w/o Power Steering.

Thanks... drove it to work today. Maybe we'll have a cold one tonight in the garage to celebrate.
(oh wait... I do that every day)

Had a friend in school who's Dad had a Falcon I think, they make them in a 'police version' ?
