I remember working in a Humble filling station (Exxon today) when I was a kid for 50 cents an hour. Had a couple of Hudsons come in. Really smooth running, sleek cars. As I recall you had to step down into them. The floorboards were lower than the door sill.
Then one day a guy came in with a Packard 2 door hard top and had a tire problem. I jacked the rear up and fixed the tire. I then let it down and the rear stayed in the air a good bit and the front was much lower than it was when I started.
I was scratching my head and looking at it when I happen to see the owner standing in the door (like he always did) having a big laugh. He called me over and told me that it had a air bag torsion system whereby you could do this and that with the suspension. Phew. I thought I had really done something wrong.
On the owner in the door, once upon a time I went to get a customer on the tricycle Harley we had.....the one with the box on the back like the Metropolitan Police had in large cities.
I didn't see anything wrong with it. I went to his motel, got off, motioned him on the box behind where I sat, got on and away we went. Both enjoyed it......but the boss went ballistic and as I was driving in the place, his index finger was pointing at me in a "get your #$% over here" motion and he had a real bad look on his face.
Needless to say, I kept my job but took the p/u after that.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
