I grew up in the 1940's and the newer cars that my parents had at the time are now regarded as antiques. Back in the 1940's, the second car of most families usually was the ever faithful model A Ford. In my youth, my Whidbey Island neighbors wouldn't sell me their low mileage 1928 model A tudor because they thought that I would make a hot rod out of it. I haven't made a hot rod out of any car yet, and I have owned a lot of model A Fords since then.
