My first car was a 1939 ford Coupe. But in truth this was my first.
At the ripe age f 13 my friend Greg and I bought on in 1960, a total disaster. Top gone but the frame, upholstery rotten because it sat outside for years.
Engine ran, sorta.
Bought for $50 we got started on all the wrong things first, like upholstery. My quasi cousin Burr, ad a shop that did tops and seats. He taught me everything but didn't tell mom. Within a year it was road worthy. Again, sorta. But back then, safety inspections were not required. However, being 16 with a driver's license was. So the cops pulled us over and somehow that got to mom and dad.
Mom made me sell my share, IE $25 so my buddy got a deal. An a year later, he drove it to school
Add some rust to the quarter panels, rockers, and over the headlights and it looked a lot like this one.

Thanks Franc. i would have guessed over 5k. I never drove one that old but a neighbor had one and to knock on the hood or fender it was so solid. Nothing like todays cars, yet they were not that heavy. Good engineering for the times.

We used to sit on the hood at the Drive in Theatres. Yeah, those cars were solid.
My Two seat roadster Crossfire weighs in at 3,000 lbs. I too thought the old ones were heavier.
