Re: 1954 Customline Trunk
Do you think some college would want it to do research on what was in the air back in '54? Maybe I can get a seven figure government grant to study it. Nah, bottle it and sell on Ebay, they'll buy...

Re: 1940 Fords and cigarettes
Ventilation was the main purpose, in 1940, as the air conditioning usually only worked from late fall to early spring. Except those lucky few who could afford a 1940 Packard!

Re: Fords needed a ride home!
You are correct sir and, no the engine has not been changed. They say the mind is the first thing to go ... I forget what's second. It is indeed a 239, thanks for the correction.
