Dad let me drive it and I could barely see over the steering wheel.( I must have been 11 years old at the time!) I remember backing it up and parking it in the street...nowadays I'd have been arrested, Dad, too ...for letting me drive without a license. Oh, dear friend...here's to the good 'ol days!
