After WWII, my father hauled sugar into the North Carolina mountains 😊in a '40 Ford Opera Coupe. He quit after getting chased and almost caught, but he loved talking about that car.

Way to go Wayne!
Now in the same areas it’s Fast Foods and Mountain Meth.
Would love to know what happened to and where the 1950 (51) Ford from Thunder Road is.
Any of them in such museums!
Very good. But too bad they didn't have cars from Prohibition era, 1920-1933. However, I enjoyed seeing the vintage moonshine cars. They were great!

That's a great story, thanks for sharing it!
These cars were used to haul liquor to dry areas in later yesrs. Not in the prohibition era. Though im sure they have some older cars that were.

Prohibition was 1920. To 1933 ok I got it. How did all those 40's and 50's cars get in prohibition rea???????????
