Better sound on rainy days?

My 1st car was a 1958 Ford with a 312 T Bird motor. It had a hood scoop which had an emblem which was just a styling cue. However, I knocked out the emblem and installed screen wire in its place. It was then a real hood scoop.

On a rainy day, that car was very noticeably faster. It was somewhat of a thrill to drive except for one problem. The windshield wipers were vacuum operated. So, if you really accelerated hard, the wipers stopped. That feature probably saved my life. I was 16, wild and crazy and didn't care. IOW I was the typical 16 yr old...

My dad did not buy me a 1958 Ford, Lucky you

My mother ws a single mom in the 50’s. Dad left when I was 3. So there was no one to buy a car for me. I started cutting grass when I was about 10 yrs old and saved my $$ to buy a car. Then I had to choose between a car and drums which I dearly wanted. The car was a way out and so, more important. it cost me $150. Owned by a little old school teacher.............................who apparently never changed the oil. Thus the T Bird engine which i got a bank loan for at 16. it took til I was 19-20 to get my drums. So nothing was handed to me. This is the car, not the bird
