The 1933 Ford Roadster
My husband owned this wonderful 1933 Ford Roadster convertible with a rumble seat during his years at Windsor High School in Bertie County. After graduation in 1959, he joined the Army. The car was sold to a Marine who was stationed in Elizabeth City for the grand sum of $200. The Marine drove it home to West Virginia.
The photo still shows the smudges of the tape used to hold it in his locker during his years in Germany as a soldier. We have spent hours online trying to find photos of a car like this one that has not been made into a hot rod.
I love to hear him talk about the fun times, such as trips to Nags Head. The car leaked oil so badly that he kept a tin can hanging under the engine to catch the leaking oil so it could be poured back through the engine.
