  1. I have wanted one for the last 50 years but have only ever seen 3 or 4 in the last 40 years and none were for sale. It is second on my dream list, the first being a 58-59 Ambassador station wagon and third being a 1957 Rebel with FI.
  2. I second Ott's Friction. They redid my brake disk pads twice for my oddball 1972 Dodge Camper 9000 that that new ones were unobtainium at any price in the world. It looked like a normal 3/4 ton pickup but no other parts in the running gear were normal starting with standard 8 lug wheels would not fit.
  3. Henry Ford looks quite spry for a man that is 66 years old in this video.
  4. This is my first post here so I hope I don't commit any breach of etiquette here. Just struck me as a good place to start. I remember when I was I was growing up, I couldn't wait until I was old enough to drive. Got my learners permit in 1966 when I was 15, followed by my driver's license at 16. My daughter didn't start driving until she was 20 and my son 19, even though his grandparents gave him a car when he was 16. My son, now 26 is teaching a friend of his one year older to drive. When I went to high school(3,600 students), everyone over the age of 16 drove to school and you couldn't find a parking space within a 6 block radius of the school. When my daughter went to the same high school(her grandparents also attended it too) I used to have to pick her up after school let out. I had no problem finding a parking space in front of school to wait for her. When I went to HS there were tri-fives, Nomad wagons, '62 409's & Dodge dual 4 413 tunnel rams and various other assorted cars starting up after school let out, the noise was deafening. When my daughter went there all I could hear were kids voices and almost all the cars(not many) that students drove were 20-25 year old rice burners. When I was in HS very few drove a car over 10 years old, mine was 4 and they were funded by after school and weekend jobs. The car culture will definitely be on life support once the last of the Baby Boomers passes. The rusty cars that 10 years ago brought high prices are now being parted out and crushed.
