I'd say BOB certainly qualifies for the Top 3, at this point.
And he has proof!

I'm only 72, I feel like a kid here. You guys are all totally inspiring...

Not on here much but have enjoyed reading through this post. I just turned 58 and also just bought my first ever Ford this year. I have always been a chevy guy but always loved the 40 Ford Tudor and was able to aquire one this year from a local estate sale, I have to say it has been a good summer logging around 3K miles of trouble free fun on the old girl and looking forward to many more. Keep up the good work and it's nice having you experienced gentelmen around to keep us younger no it all guys in check.

I am 87. I'm neither proud nor ashamed of it. "It is what it is." (I would like to be 20-30 years younger. Probably won't happen.)

I will officially turn 90 on 12/27/21. I believe I'm the oldest, so far. Merry Christmas all y'all. Lawson

This is the only place that makes me feel like "a snot nose kid" at 77.

bob from red oak · 12-10-2021, 05:53 AM

76 and hope to be active with old cars for another 10 or 15 years. i just can't lay under them for any extended period of time any more.

Bob/Pa · 12-10-2021, 07:48 AM

Same as my coupe 1934, makes me 87.

Old Redneck · 12-10-2021, 08:10 AM

Remember when Mother would say act your age. No one says that to me anymore. A young 81 but 82 coming fast Feb. At least we enjoy life. The Ford Barn is great for all us.

Robert/Texas · 12-10-2021, 09:34 AM

Like Bob/Pa, I'm the same age, 87 as my '34 roadster.

mfirth · 12-10-2021, 10:38 AM

Happy Birthday!

I had asked "coup34" for a picture or two of this '34 5-window coupe that he has owned for 71 YEARS. Here's what he sent me. His dad had bought the car for his older brother returning from WWII. In 1946 or '47, brother bought a '40 Ford. Dad got the '34 back, but younger brother talked him out of it in 1950. That '34 is gorgeous, and will hopefully never be restore from the way she is right here. DD
