I saw this old cop car in a farmers yard and had to get a shot of it. Perhaps I watched too many cartoons as a child, but these old Fords with the gumball machine on top were a lot of fun and common characters back then. They could stand up and walk on their wheels and used cats for sirens. They chased bootleggers and bankrobbers. This one still looks traumatized from it all.
he was born in the great depression,
and i can’t believe all that he’s seen;
just look at his facial expression–
i think that you’ll know what i mean

That car has so much cartoon imagery! Bet it could tell some tales! Happy day!
