Man that paleolithic concrete body filler must’ve been a hairy mammoth to sand and finish, but those were the days when labor was cheap.

 

And there were no labor strikes.

 

If an employee gave you any trouble you just bbq’d him and then invited his replacement over for dinner.

I've a good friend whose daughter/son-in-law we helped move from point A to point B when we were living in Buffalo.  I was wearing shorts and for some reason my wife thought she needed to compare my legs with the friend's S-I-L, (chicken legs).  I have a genetic trait of big calves.  The S-I-L, whom I had previously thought to be a tad dim-witted, quipped that "those are Flintstone legs that you need to drive those old cars"...Ok, point to the kid, but he still couldn't carry a dresser up the stairs by himself...

I'm tellin' ya it was all about body english. ?

 

Fred was strong enough to wedge the chassis left or right in a curve, as he drove.

What looks like a steering wheel was just for leverage. Nothing "steers" conventionally.

 

To go left sharply he stomped down the left foot and the car did a skid-steer . . . stomp right to go hard right.

 

Stomp both feet for brakes. ;)
