Re: Did cars smoke in the fifties?
Back in the day I had a girlfriend that drove a 39 Chevy with a big oil leak. I couldn't remember if it was the front or rear main, but oil ran out almost as fast as you replaced it.

Re: V8-60 Fords Little Powerhouse
Funny thing is some owners must have felt this motor that came with my car was good enough to keep for 77 years. I can't believe it is still there and original. Maybe I won't win any races but it...
