It is a beautiful, sunshiny Saturday. There are a circle of trucks at the base of "the hill." Hood are all opened, are alligator-style except yours, which is center-hinged, the stock flathead drawing its usual head-shakes and muttered "...V-8...".
You hide a grin when your turn comes and the 6-volt starter, hamsterlike, spins the mighty 95-hp to life.
You know that with the 26.08 low-low-low-low etc. granny and 5.83s, your '47 PW has a 304-to-1 crawl ratio.
You ease out the clutch pedal.
All four axles snap.
