Hey Paul. They had some great looking cars there. Especially the 49 Ford convertible. I was never crazy about Fords (being a GM man) but this one is my favorite color. I wish my first good car had been a red/white 55 Chevy Bel Air with a continental kit and that's what I would have now instead of a neptune green Chevy 210. I couldn't afford a red Chevy convertible 50 years ago though so my nostalgia is to have exactly what I had then. I just ordered a Pertronix points/condenser conversion electronic module for my Chevy yesterday. This will be my 3rd attempt at getting the right one. My daughter and son-in-law got me one for Christmas but he guessed wrong on the engine I had so the one they got didn't fit (goes inside the distributor). I told my daughter the size/year engine I had (1973 280CI) and she had one shipped to me. Turned out this one was also too big for the distributor also and while I had it out I checked the part number and did some cross-checking and found the distributor was the original 1955.
