   A college friend had an A with a rumble seat and poor enough judgment to   
   let us use it. He was older and had been a pilot before deciding to go   
   back for a degree so he had a lot of toys including a wife.

   For the real sporty car. My father built one although built probably   
   wasn't the right word. Like the old Harley choppers you mostly threw away   
   stuff that wasn't essential. Clara Bow tools around in one at the start of   
   'Wings'.
