[Hallicrafters] 'these uncertain economic times"

[Carl]

My 1926 Model T coupe is also good transportation. However the 
supercharged Ford V-8 flathead gets it way beyond Point B as Ive taken 
it on several 400-500 mile trips including into Canada.
Its just not very passenger friendly! That telephone booth cab is taller 
than the seat width.
