History Have you ever owned a car the same age as you - photo's if hamb friendly

What's with all the 1948's?
Here is my 1948 Lincoln Continental. Apart right now but finishing up the install of a 390 FE with 3X2 intake and a 9" rear axle (4bar).
When I bought it in 1998 (we were both 50) it had a 1957 Caddy and a conversion BH to the OD Lincoln trans. In OD it would just coast so brakes were very important, BUT, the under the floor brake cylinder was right next to the exhaust pipe so the brake fluid would expand and lock the brakes up. As low as it is I'd have to jack up one of the wheels and crack a bleeder to get it rolling again. All will remedied with the rebuild.

Forgot to mention its got a new heart I still have the original, just waiting on a new hip.

 

Wow, that's a lotta car, beautiful.

 

Sure did. Not HAMB friendly though. 1967 Barracuda. Built in same month of 1966 as me.

 

My 55 is a year younger than I am, but it was assembled one week before my wife was born. The wife says she is not old, she is a classic.

 

She has two years on me, I'm a 48.

 

When you were born in 1945 the choices are slim.

 

Happened only once for me so far. We were both 16.

 

My 57 chevy is the same year as I am and bought this in 19 77 and still have it. This picture was taken in 1985. The car still looks the same but I can not say that for myself.

My 46 !

 

Duh..........

 

Post war service guys catching up!

 

I have 3 different ages, one being my actual age, 2 being how old my body feels at times, and 3 how young and childish I behave.

 

Bought this hemi-powered gasser coupe a few years back!

 

I’m a ‘67 model. My first car was a slightly O/T ‘67 Dodge Dart GT with the 273 V8.

 

I just realized that I am not HAMB friendly....lol

This and this.

 

My 52'. Very comfortable long-haul car.

 

I've got a '46 and a '48 Ford's. I was born in '47. Close but no cigar.

 

My ‘46

 

Neat truck Paul!

 

My old Pontiac and I were both born in '48. My younger bro. is having a spot of coca cola on my back bumper. 1989 street rod nats in Columbus, Ohio.

 

In 1996 I traded a '54 Cadillac Coupe DeVille on my '38 Buick. When I found the original purchase paperwork in the car I found that Captain Irving B. Bush took delivery of his new car a week before I was born.

 

"I was this close"!
My 57 so three years too new.

I thought I wanted my grandmothers' 54 Chevy when she died but my cousin (girl) beat me to it, in a short time she messed it up. I guess she did me a favor because the 54 was never my favorite model of Chevy anyway.

 

The most expensive Ford car that year

 

Nope, never owned a '48. I did own a '57 that was built on my birthday, just 9 years later!

 

NO! Most 1942 cars are ugly. JMO though

 

I met a guy who was born in 63 who I sold a 63 olds f85 convertible. He said all he bought were 63's I thought he was weird plus he had rinestones on his jean jacket.
I said whatever man put the money in my hand.
