Hi folks -- right now I am visiting my daughter (Lisa) and son-in-law (Tony) in Escondido, CA. While I was taking a nap today, in a bedroom next to the garage, I heard a bunch of noise. It was Tony taking the seats out of the Cougar, or at least trying to, as he temporarily lost a socket in a bad spot under the floor pan. Finally he got the sets out and it is time soon to weld in a new drivers side floor pan. Here are a few photos of the car's engine and the job that faces him next!
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
