74, couldn’t be me, must be someone else, I’m not that old, am I?
1940, a beautiful design that has NEVER been matched, ever. I can’t believe I didn’t buy one when they were $200 in 1964. Everyone wanted a 57 Chev, never owned one of those either.

I purchased these two cars over the past 12 months for my retirement. Both cars had been parked for multiple decades. They both now run and stop and almost don't smell. It has been quite fun so far.

Patrick,


interesting idea with very interesting results. Mine's a 1941 so you might want to toss out my answers since it's not in your '39-'40 range.


1. Owner Age: 62

2. Model Year of your car: 41
3. Length of ownership: 1 year
4. Type of car: coupe
5. Model of car: Special, not a custom or custom deluxe but the super stripped down Special
6. Location: SW, Southern California coast


Best regards,
Brad

Pech,


No worries, you couldn't possibly be that old.


Speaking of regrets, I'm still questioning the decision to sell my [blank]. But, I've always wanted a flathead, and now I have one. The EFV8 people here in San Diego are great fun so I win.
