1940's in Valparaiso, Indiana.  Dad's working on his first car that he bought for $25.  I think this is after the war but I'm sure the gearheads among us can tell us the earliest possible year based on the car in the background.  The title refers to what my uncle wrote on the slide index.  He was more forthcoming with the comedy than he was with dates.  From a Kodachrome slide that was too dark so to get the car to show up I adjusted the heck out of the levels in Photoshop.  Sorry the background colors seemed to suffer a bit.
