???? Did you ask him what he meant ? I wonder if he was referring to the frame and maybe resulting door or hood misalignment ? Not many are 'straight' [whatever it means] and thats part of the charm.

I use that term to describe lousy body work, but your friend might mean something entirely different. Does the car lean to one side (worn out or broken spring)? Perhaps that's what he means...

It depends on which side of the Equator your "A" is kept. Those in the Northern Hemisphere will lean to the right and those in the Southern Hemisphere will lean to the left.

Not sure if the full moon has any pull on leaning "A"s too, but others might have that data.
