As I looked at those, it is amazing how many of the different years and brands I've driven at one time or another. The 57 Ford early in the clip is the same color as my first car(baby blue and white) as my 57 Ford that was my first car. Mine was a 4 door Fairlane with a 312 Tbird special engine.

Oldest car I can think of that I have been in was a 1982-84 Isuzu Pup with a I4 diesel and 5 on the floor. Family lost it in wreck in 94-96 and was the last truck the family owned until 2001-02 when we got the current truck.

Hybris, we need to get you into some old Ford rides. You should come to CSW and take a ride in my 79 Bronco or Clint's 74 Bronco. When I get it running again, my 54 F250 would be fun too.

The only bad thing is that you will get hooked?
