There is also a site that I use where you can download your own pictures as puzzles from your HD and for as many pieces you wish.
I use it quite often.
It's quite amazing how hard some are once it's broken into 110, 120, 130, 140+ pieces - even though you know the picture, tiny pieces are a challenge.
 
I was scrolling through some pictures to do as a puzzle and came upon this 1950 Ford.
This was my first car bought in 1958 right after I sold my BSA. It looked exactly like this; 2-door, fender skirts, white walls and a dual exhaust system.
It was eight years old when I got it, but it was still in good condition and never let me down. Lots of great memories from back then.
Wow, 61 years ago! Can it be that long?

Yes, flathead V8. Tough old engine.
I added the fender shirts and exhaust system to make it into a bit of a hotrod.
Not only was it a tough old engine, it could be heavily modified to produce incredible HP and torque. It was a favorite of hot rodders and early dragsters. That basic engine is still produced today. You had one fine car!! TUP
 
Very nice car, seems like yesterday they were everywhere, they also sound very good too, i see a few in the car shows every once in a while.
Whenever I see one at a car show - or even in old B & W movies - it makes me smile.
Last night I caught the end of an old B & W crime movie with Henry Fonda and he was driving one.
Everyone has a first car or bike that they will remember forever.
 
You can't keep everything you ever had in your life, but there sure are things I wish I had now.
One would be the BSA Golden Flash I had and also that Les Paul Gibson goldtop electric guitar.
I was only a fair player so I let it go and got into bikes and cars. It's only been since I retired that I began to think about the guitar and getting another one, but I seem to be so busy with the bikes I doubt that I ever will.
