Susybelle had been on a really grand tour. She was a great romantic car to take on our honeymoon since with all of her paraphernalia she could only conformably hold two people.
She stayed around for the rest of the war, running on gasoline, butane, distillate, paint thinner, and cleaning fluid. We continued to drive anywhere we wanted. But in 1946, after the war ended and new cars were available, she was replaced with another Ford, a more normal car. Susybelle was used as a turn-in after the supercharger and extra tanks, extra foot throttle, and carburetor were removed. I know she had over 100,000 miles on the odometer by then and was ready for retirement. She really was a grand old lady.
