I'm a young pup at 27. I've been doing the Old Ford thing since I got my '40 Deluxe 2 dr. sedan at the age of 14. This year I'll have had it half my life!

Just recently I've started to appreciate old Fords in stock form. I must be getting older! I know the hobby is in good hands, but at this rate, young guns like myself are going to have a LOT of old cars to take care of! I think in another 15 years or so there may be another "Golden Age". I'd rather keep y'all around so I can keep learning!

People see my '52 truck and say "Wow it's over 60 years old." I tell them that I am 6 years older than it. 69 next month.
