Dan sent me a wonderful photo a couple of days ago!
His covering email also included:
Here was my favourite car of all time. A 1957 Ford hard-top convertible. 312 cu. in. V8 rebuilt with 3/4 race cam and Holly 950 com 4 barrel carb. Reverse traction masters and front lift. Borg-Warner T-10 4 speed with reverse lock out.

Dan went on to add: Tana our wonderful Silver Grey German Shepherd and yes, that’s little bro Chris Gomez at 12 or 13. I was 19 and in Pasadena City College just before going to Switzerland to study French (and ski!) and then into the Navy during the Vietnam War.
Fifty-seven years ago!
How time flies.

Great car! So odd to see Borg-Warner. My father retired from that company in the 80s.

That’s interesting for you, Susan. Presumably your father worked for Borg-Warner well after this photograph was taken.

Actually, he was working there at the time of that photo, retired in the 80s & was on retainer until 1986 when he passed away.
