The cool Mercury rag top

My first car was a Mercury 1941 convertible light blue with white rag top. I drove on a 9-foot red brick road to date the woman who is my wife now. At night we would go for a drive to get cool in the summer. This was before air conditioning. I was working at Albemarle Electric Membership Corporation at the time.
