1959 Austin-Healey

[airboatr]

Standing behind his Austin-Healey is my high school metals shop teacher and his wife.

[Airspeed]

Gee, their kid's ugly, Joe.
What was the most interesting bit of his classes, The metal, or the lurgy?

[airboatr]

Not sure what you are seeing, Mike.
There are no kids in the photo and we certainly didn't waste time on fiction in metals class.





Anything else, Mike?

I think he means the dog....

Great photograph Joe, true British Classic did that one come with a soft top as well as the hard top? I know my parents old Turner Sports had both so in the winter it was a hard top followed by the soft one in summer in case it rained. Bet your teacher has no trouble in keeping it in tip top shape!!

Regards
Nigel.

Hello Nigel.

Mr. Bill didn't mention he had a soft top for it. But He is quite the auto aficionado, So I'm sure if he should have one, he does.


After retiring from teaching for 33 years, he was offered a staff position at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn Indiana. After 17 years there, he retired from his position as curator of the entire collection. https://automobilemuseum.org

Mr. Bill was the paragon of cool teachers. ... He drove a red late 60's E type !

Nothing fictional about the lurgy, Joe.

Read it.
On Saturday there will be a 20 question test.

[Airspeed]

You can't believe everything you read on the internet Joe.
My older brother often had the lurgy when we were at school.

Is there anything you'd like to add Specifically about the "59 Austin-Healey" in the photograph, Mike.
