Re: How Many Years Have You Owned Your Car?
Bought my 49 F1 in August 1973 - coming up 40 years. Cost $100 and was driveable ... sort of - you have a lot of flexibility when you're 15. Spent a few more zeros since.

Re: How Many Years Have You Owned Your Car Or Truck?
My 1936 Ford Woodie has been in my family since the mid-1960's, when it was given to my mom from my father's father as a gift. That means 45+ years in my family.
Family lore says he found it in a barn in New Hampshire, covered in hay. I have owned it since my mom passed away 4 years ago and left it to me. Now it cruises the streets of Jamaica Plain, (Boston), full of neighborhood kids squealing with delight. I am slowly restoring it. |

Re: How Many Years Have You Owned Your Car Or Truck?
We've had our '36 Phaeton about 3 1/2 years.
There is a fellow in our vicinity whose mother bought him a '36 Phaeton while he was in high school. The family owned a gas station and car repair business and the car never left his ownership, nor was it ever heavily modified. He changed over to sealed beams, and may have put hydraulic brakes on it, otherwise it's as original as you would ever find. He's in his 90s' but the car will go to his son. So '49 to 2013, 64 years. Not that he's a barner, but that is the longest ownership I know of. |

Re: How Many Years Have You Owned Your Car Or Truck?
Bought her in 89, ran it for a couple of years, then tore it apart. Didn't really know what I was going to do with it but I knew it would not be stock. Finally found vintage stuff and mocked it up last week. I hope to have her completed by summers end.

Re: How Many Years Have You Owned Your Car Or Truck?
I purchased my '36 Ford in September 1952... That will be 61 years come September.
I bought it from the original owner for $125., the odometer showed 51k and change. The odometer now shows 39K... Doing the math, I have driven "Henry" 88k, not to bad for a car that I paid $125. for... With all of the repairs and modifications, I have spent right at $2,300. during the years I have owned the car... I started a log book on the car when I bought it... The first expenditure was the purchase of hydraulic brakes from a '41 Ford... The log book documents every expenditure for parts/repairs...

Re: How Many Years Have You Owned Your Car Or Truck?
Mine has been in the family 53 years. Avatar pic was taken the day we brought it home
in 1960. Sold it to my bro in '68 when I went over-seas, then bought it back from him in '76 a bit worse for wear. Moving ahead at glacial speed; and now my first car is on my bucket list! |

Re: How Many Years Have You Owned Your Car Or Truck?
I saw David Mc avatar car, number nine above, at the Grand National and it is really a beauty. David did a wonderful job and the pictures do not do it justice. Thanks for showing it to us and the details you went to, to do the job.
