That's the SSTK (Shop Smith Trepanation Kit) used to relieve pressure in the kids' heads. Comes in handy when Jr.'s shoe hits the girl in the head and the cutoff from Dad does the same with Jr. :D

That looked just like the 49' ford I once drove. Three speed straight stick on the column. Those flat heads were nearly indestructible.

I had two Ford's back then but they were a bit newer. My car for cruising the strip was a '46 Plymouth 4door sedan. I'd love to have that old car back. My mom sold it for $50 when I went into the service to a guy who set pins for us in the bowling alley. I was ticked. I paid more than that to have the seats reupholstered.

Hey, I couldn't cruise with ripped seats front and back.:eek:
