1939 Plymouth Torpedo which I party restored, the business version with no back seat.
Several modle A and T's which I also worked on one way or another.

XK 140 jag, but that wasn't pre war, it was 1947 vintage, so post war. Best chick bait car ever made.

I've ridden in a 1942 Chevy fire truck, just BARELY making the pre WWII cutoff. My birthday is 12/25/1992 so it was 51 years older than me.

1939 Ford in 1958. Starter was a pedal on the floor you stepped on. Shift lever was on the floor. If memory serves me correctly it had a flat head V-8 engine.

Yeah, and in 2014 they move it up on the dash and call it hi tech.

I've driven many, though I haven't actually owned any. I used to work for a vintage car restoration shop, so got to work on and drive a lot of cars that were brass era through WWII, then I had a street rod shop where I built a number of pre-WWII hot rods.
