What age people love dentsides?

I'm 42 and have always like older FoMoCo vehicles (My other vehicle is a '67 Mercury Comet 202). My '73 F250 was WAY too new for me; but it was in such perfect shape I couldn't pass it up.
Just out of high school I drove a '70 Torino GT factory 4 speed 351C 2V 3:00 rear, when I joined the AF back in 1990 I had a 1969 Ford Fairlane and when I was stationed at Davis Monthan AFB in AZ (1996-7) I drove (and my dad still has) a 1967 Mercury Marquis 410 FE factory 4 speed (has a 428 in it now).
I grew up with Fords though; so it's no wonder. My dad drove us around as kids (in the bed of the truck w/out tail gate) in his 1967 F100 Ranger XLT, 1967 Fairlane 390 4V 4 Speed and later a 1977 Granada 302 2v C4. Always had fun cars; my wife's 2011 Duango Crew Hemi is one of the only non FoMoCo vehicle we've owned since we got married too. If Ford had put a 5.4 in the Explorer we "might" have got that instead, but it's way back seat just wasn't enough to make up for the less than impressive V6.
