I sure do-- my first car was a 1951 Chevy coupe-bought it from a neighbor with 200,000 miles on it-he babied it- had the 216 CID in-line "Blue Flame six" engine, with both a hand throttle and choke, a push button starter, "Three on the tree" tranny- had a driver's permit at 14, as I worked after school and on Sats. (except during fall hunting season) in my Grandpa's machine shop. Dad had a 1953 Chevy Bel-Aire Coupe, with the same engine, if memory serves. Of course, since then, "Blue Flamer" has come to have a few different meanings, which, out of proprietary I won't mention here.. RWTF
