Greetings!
My name is Jerry and I somehow stumbled on to this site while sorting and cataloging dad’s Y Block magazine subscription. My father owns a 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe which is powered by a 1957 Ford 312 Y Block. My dad bought this car when I was 18 months old in 1960. I have known this car all of my life. Dad is now in a nursing home and has dementia. As I have know this car all my life, I have become the caretaker of my father’s car. I have a lot to learn. I am 66 years old and I drove the car for the first time last year when they sold their house and I moved it to the garage of the assisted living facility. I’ll add more info in a future post as well as some photos of the car and engine. For now, I am doing my best to keep the battery charged and get it out every now and then to warm it up and drive it limited distance. Looking forward to learning more since my dad can’t connect all the dots any longer.
Thank you Ted for opening up the registration portal so I can join! Jerry
