I was born in 1983 so i am going with no been around alot od 60's 70's car owned quite a few 80's and 90's used car but never any cars pre WW2 unless you count riding in a 1975 super bettle which was built of a 1930's design
The closest i have come is owning a 49 mercury . Its was a tank to say the least. Flat head V-8 and I sold it for much more than I paid for it because it had 10000 miles when I got it from my bother in laws aunt in 1969. I sold it to a guy that made rods; who wanted it to chop the top and rebuild itn as a rod. Perfect body with zero rust.
My first car was a 1940 Ford that I rebuilt the flat head V8 and the 3 speed overdrive tranny on along with many other parts. The car cost me $25 from an old friend and $25 to kid delivering papers in 1957 was a lot of money!!!!
My dad helped me with all the major work that I got stuck on otherwise I was on my own. I even painted the old Ford...with a brush barn siding red. (the paint was free)
Drove that car until I got outta high school in 1964.
Used to car pool in a 40 Buick. My dad had a 41 Chevy. I had a 40 Ford.
