Re: Fordbarn Average Age
I'm 57 now but started playing with old cars when I was 14. My dad let me buy a '40 Buick that I dissected to learn all I could and to restore it. I learned a heck of a lot with that car. I used to attend monthly meetings with the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts (VAE) throughout high school. I was always the young buck and others would let me ride with them. The group was very welcoming though I don't know where any of those guys are today. One of the members let me drive his 1928 Reo fire truck to the Stowe auto show. What a blast, mechanical brakes and spark advance on the steering wheel. It was pretty neat that I would be trusted as a young driver with that truck. Today, my kids can't drive my cars until they are 25 for the insurance rules.
Add me in as 57 in the year 2015
