Well, the early postwar years were a sellers' market, they could sell anything/everything they could push out the factory doors... This situation lasted here in America at least until 1949-50. Only then did you see "Progress" being made in automotive design, I.E. more power & ease of control. its also when the car companies got a formula-Front Engine, rear drive, & set about perfecting it, making the car as reliable w/as little maintenance from the owner. That "Formula" lasted into the 1970s-early eighties, til the front engine/front wheel drive package began to dominate, as it still does today.

Just recently purchased this 2011 Ford F-150 XL. It has the V6 with a 6sp automatic. Just about 43,000 miles on it.


This is my 1969 Ford F-100 Custom Heavy Duty Special. I've had it for over 3 years now. It was bought new here in Phoenix and has spent its entire life here. Slowly restoring it. It has a 360 V8 with a 4spd manual.


Just acquired this from my father-in-law. 1956 Thunderbird



This is my dad's 1960 Thunderbird that one day will be mine. It has the 352 V8 automatic with factory pwr windows and a/c.


This 1981 Delorean, I had to sell about 3 years ago. Needed the money. I still miss it. One day I will get another one. Took 5 years to restore it.


I also had a 1974 Gran Torino that got wrecked about 5 years ago. I loved that car.

Now that is a familiar face - looks like a nice rust free version of my '68... nice to see someone else here has one
