Ron that was a boat! I feel for you I’m going to try to find one of those in 1/43 I think I’ve seen one somewhere but I know what you mean I’m 50 but I know all about that stuff my first vehicle was a 1970 international pick 3/4 ton that’s what I took mine in no power steering with some play in it. One of my first semi trucks was a 1969 Brockway with air assist steering you might as well not even had the air hooked to it because it was like having no power steering. No wonder I’m ate up with arthritis 

The weekend after getting my license, a Sunday in-fact, bought my first car.  A 1958 Chrysler New Yorker convertible.  White over white red/white interior.  From a boat to a ship.  But it had power steering (Only 3 1/2-turns lock to lock) & power brakes.  But best a 392 CI HEMI rated at 345 HP.  Speedometer read up to 120 with peg pass that.  Did have it peg once on the Ohio Turnpike racing a 409 Chevy.

Lee, Brooklin did make a 1959 Chevy wagon but in blue, ours was yellow. Do not know if I have a picture of mine.  If found will post here later.

Ron

edit:

Found the pic, you can't miss it.
