Great looking car. I'd like to have a flathead six for my woodie T project. I keep my eyes out for a Kaiser Frazer supercharged continental flathead six.

Storytime! I hauled a '95 Tracer Trio wagon (same as Escort wagon) through the high mountains of KY at night. Never took my eyes off it, except in curves. So I rarely glanced up. LOL We hit the interstate and let it roll. I was in my '00 Ranger with a 2.5 four banger. The car couldn't be felt except goping up hills. My oldest son was with me. He was about 10 or 11 years old. We hit a fairly flat area through TN. It was getting late, around midnight. The worn out sleepy glazed over stare had hit hard. I heard something pop behind me. I looked up and never thought about the car still being behind me on the tow dolly. I saw the park lights on and screamed like a little girl. I pulled off at the next exit. Shook off the adrenaline rush and checked the car and tow dolly. We headed back out but never found the source of the pop.
