WHO Is the Oldest Early V8 Forum Member?

[Bored&Stroked]

Hell, I'm a babe in the woods, 61 . . . hard to imagine as I think I act like about 16 at any given time of day.

Truthfully, I hope I can act like a child at LEAST once a day - every day! LOL

[TomO]

I am 7 years old for the 3rd time and enjoying my third childhood. I have never been over 40, so I am not old, just been around a long time.

[Ken Henry]

I'm 42

[1942deluxe]

62 next month. This thread reminds me of when I was a small town Iowa Ford dealer. Our newspaper editor got all the Vets in town to come for a group picture (then did a
nice write up on each of us). Lots of WWII and Korean era folks. Guy in the back yells to me "Kelley, you're the youngest one here!". My answer was "and doesn't that make this a sorry a## outfit !" They laughed. Great people. I've had 13 early V8's since 1973.

I'm 58 and sure do enjoy reading here everyday and certainly respect my elders for giving their advise from the experiences they have done or how they can think things thru.
Stay Safe,
Steve

I’m 64

[wamnram]

Turn 64 next month. Started playing with old Fords at 21, just starting to get the hang of it!

[TJ]

I'm 76 headed soon for 77. Graduated from Model Ts in my teens to Model As and then to the V-8 Club in 1974.

I'm 74 and a couple of years older than my '48 Super Deluxe Tudor. It's not flathead powered, but an Olds with a Muncie 4-speed. I've been around flatheads all my life, tho having learned to drive in dad's '51 F1 and drove my grandad's '52 F3 quite a bit. I thought that ole 4-speed was fun, but my granny didn't like it at all. She could barely drive it! It was their only vehicle for years.

69 Also I didn't bump into anything sharp or spill anything hot on myself today.

[Kilohertz]

Well I see we need someone who is 57 so I'll volunteer...working on cars since I was a kid, first my Dad's then mine. I grew up with my Dad's MGA's, TR3's and such in the driveway. He still comes for lunch every weekend to help and see my progress on the '49 F-47, you could add him as an associate member at 84 if you like. Having a flathead is like having 8 lawn mowers on the same crankshaft...I love it.

Cheers

We lowered the average a little to 73 if I don't round up the tenths or hundredths.

Thanks, Will D.
Forgot to mention, first car was a 41 Chevy club coupe. The first “real car” was a 49 Ford flathead !

[adileo]

Cool post, interesting stat. I’m 66. Won’t help with lowering average too much and simple add in as, I guess, I’m only one 66��

[leon bee]

I'm only 70, but want to mention my first car, at age 15, was a 31 Ford. And I drove it hard for a couple years.

[cmbrucew]

79 today, first flathead was a 1950 ford four door V8 in high school. Oldest 1936 5 window coupe with Mercury V8. Only flathead left is a 1950 F1 with an original 226h assembled at the Henry Ford plant in Long Beach, Calif.
