I guess I'd be considered an "old fart", since I'm 83, but my Dad was a Ford salesman back when the flathead was new and I guess it rubbed off on to me.

I've had two flatheads in my life, a 1936 cabrolet, which I had to trade off for a used 1942 Ford convertable, which in turn was used as a trade-in for a new 1955 Ford. With the exception of a 1932 Huppmobile that I had in high school, all of my many cars have been Fords.

The new Fords certainly have newer features but the old flatheads have a nostalgic attraction for me.

My Dad is 83 and I'm trying to talk him into a rod since he's retired.

Welcome aboard from Maryland.

Welcome from the neighbor state of Texas. I'm a in between you old farts and all the young farts but my dad in in your bracket. I think his first car was a 35 Ford coupe but it was pretty well worn out driving criss cross the USA during WWII while changing duty stations. My first was one of his hand me downs, a 1951 Mercury. My older brother has it now and I bought my own. I'm building up another 255 for it now.
