Re: [FWDLK] Electric Cars (1955 Plymouth With 2.5Volt V8)

    I agree that with time and material changes we might
be able to do something  with our cars. I'm not so sure I see
a 58 Fury kit car in our future but running them on propane or methanol
or who knows what will be in the future.
    I can see the JCWhitney ads now, " Gas converter,
easy to install, $19.95 plus s/h" 
I would say the the hard core will pay up to $25.00 per gallon to listen
to the sounds of real antique horsepower.
