Verne Frantz's Too Cool 62 409!!

[Verne_Frantz]

Thanks Dan,
I think about him sometimes when I drive it, but mostly just when I "think" about the car. Yep, he was a great Dad. Taught me how to drive in a '49 Ford when I was 12, Taught me how to ride a bike, fishing, hunting, traping, swimming, boating and a lot of stuff around the house. He taught me how to fix just about anything instead of just throwing it away and buying a new one. Many good memories...

Hey Verne, great story and a great car. You really brought home the story of what the car means to you in your narrative. I really enjoyed it. I have loved 409 engines since I first laid eyes on one back in the early '70s. Would love to own one someday (closest I got was a '61 bubbletop with a 348).
