Maybe I missed it here somewhere, but my dad before becoming Mr 31 63436, was a used car dealer, and seemed to always have some sort of OLD car around, probably because he would trade for most anything.

I remember many nice Sunday rides in a Whippet sedan, just an old car then, probably mid 20s. Also had a Willys-Knight, just trade ins, but we just loaded up the family and a picnic box and went riding, no special concern about would they make it.

I was born in 1949, so this would have been mid 50s to early 60s.
