"Back in the day", my Dad bought a new '52 Ford with a V8 engine. It never worked up to his satisfaction, ran hot, and whatever else. Several years later for a second car, he found and bought a '50 with the flathead 6. I had just received my license, and drove that '50 6cyl like there was no tomorrow. When my Dad would compare the '52 V8 with that '50 6cyl, he would take the 6cyl any day. My friends often thought that that '50 had a hopped up V8 in it until I popped the hood to show them.
