My dad (deceased in 2004) was born in 1915 and did not particularly like Fords. However, his first car was a Model-T rust bucket that he bought
when he was around 10-12 years old. When his father (my grandfather) got home from the railroad (Seaboard Air Line) where he worked. He grabbed
his pistol and made the unscrupulous car seller buy it back from dad. Dad
never owned a Ford after that. Except for the '32 "B" he ran into with his '32
Desoto roadster. While racing a Harley up a hill in the left lane. The wreck
totaled the Desoto and he had to buy the '32 "B" and drive it for a while. Until he got his new '38 Buick.

PS: One of dad's friends was in the rumble seat of the Desoto when it wrecked. After the wreck they could not find the guy until he started yelling: "Get me out'a here!" He had got'n locked in the rumble seat when
it closed up during the wreck.
