She's been on dockyard too long now, but she was my only working car during summers.

When I worked at Helsinki, I drived over 80 miles per day. It was hard times for old Ford, but driver was happy and energetic.



I think, all those Rock'n'Roll & Drunking gigs in about 100 mile radius is still longest runs so far.



In nowdays, family, work and that always broken dailydriver '89 Thunderbird take my time and money, so 59 project is pretty much idling. In last summer, She was pretty ready to active use, but then other exhaust pipe turned to a smoking machine.

Like that way I go to work in every morning. Home I get a little bit faster than that, because my Thunderbird got V6 not 4. So it's 50% faster. 59 with Y-Block would be 100% Faster but she got no oils inside at this moment.

I have seen this one before, pretty neat but screamin' 4 cylinders don't get me ecited like a good ol' V8.

The rev limiter really gets a workout

Here is something for you fast folks. If you have not seen it something to watch.

I could smell the rubber burning as I watched this. Must view on full screen.

You would have to wear a diaper to ride with this guy!

It sounds like the little car is running bad.....The reason it sounds like it is cutting is because of the revolution limiter.....it keeps the R.P.M. from going to high and blowing up the motor.........

Also: note at the very end, the sparks coming from the rear wheel rims as the tires burn down.
