Smile Chevy Clown

At the last cruise night some clown was looking at the engine in my truck and said that I should “wrap that engine in Chevrolet sheet metal”! So I smiled and asked why should I do that? Then I pointed to the magnetic sticker on the underside of the hood “GENUINE FORD PARTS”. I then informed the clown what engine I had.
Then asked him “how many Chevy guys he knows that still have their original owned 1968 truck” ? And the clown was about the same age as me. Case closed.

Selling NOS parts at a Pomona swap meet in the 1980's, a guy asked me how long I'd owned my 65 F100.

March 1965.

He said, how old are you? You don't look old enough to have bought it new.

September 9, 1944.

Hey Bill, you have me beat by 1 year and 5 days! 9-4-45. I was about 2 weeks early. Mom said I was early because of all the excitement from VJ Day.
