In 1965 our family moved from small town to a little 20 acre place in country. Folks bought place on land contract from older gentleman. The place was abandoned. In one of the sheds was a 1932 Chevy doodlebug. The older gentleman told my dad that it must stay with the place. Dad tinkered with it, got it running. I followed that thing behind a one bottom plow for miles I guess. Borrowed a team disc from neighbors. Seeded down some hay and used a team mower behind the doodlebug. Dad cut firewood and he built a skid to haul wood and kids. It only had driver seat, with us kids and cousins hanging on tight. Years passed and motor set up. As a teen, myself and best buddy pulled motor from doodlebug and also his ford falcon which we married in front on truck transmission. 7 forward gears plus options. We drove it one time. That thing would fly. Well, it felt like it when front end came up. Buddy went in service and doodlebug went back to rusting up till it was hauled off for scrap.
