Default Re: Flatheads and Ford Barn - Really should read.

...another little comment regarding "traditional" cars or hot rods; the media usage of this term to describe pretty much ANY car with steelies/caps/trim rings, regardless of the rest of the car, has rendered the term "traditional" very imprecise. Accordingly, it has become necessary to add the word "true" when describing one that actually is, as opposed to one that is actually a Street Rod with the obligatory 350/350/9"/ASC rails/repro body etc. etc. that
happens to have the above-mentioned wheels and tires... This distinction is
very necessary when determining if a particular car might be appropriate for a particular event where it matters...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! Peace on earth and at the Ford Barn...
