Yup, I used to own two of them attached to one of these

But the color of mine was closer to this

It was the first car I ever owned. Since I needed to drive to school my
dad bought it for me for $125 in 1959 just before I turned 16. I drove
it from California to Texas in 1964, sold it for $200 and used exactly
that amount of money to buy a '57 DeSoto that looked just like this.

Not long after I sold the Ford it was stolen from the guy who bought it.
Last I heard it had been recovered somewhere in Kansas. I don't think
I'd want the Ford back but the DeSoto was a nice machine.
I never owned a camera when I had the Ford so there are no pictures of
it. I did (and still own) my first camera (a Petri 7s) when I had the
DeSoto but I don't think there are any pictures of it either. But there
could be.
