The Ford Barn

I've had old cars before I met my wife. She knew that they came as a package deal. I sold the WW II Deuce and a half to buy the house. I have just the 50 F-1 now. I've earned a lot of Domestic credits over the years in exchange for all the cars and trucks I've had. And she does like old cars and trucks.

Probably in excess of the US national debt.....

In "bribes" for the wife? In that case it cost me nothing, since it was her idea to get it. Love that woman and she's put up with me for 48-years now...........

Both my Fords cost me nothing unless I need to work on them at which time I can never get a quiet moment to myself alone in the garage without being bothered!

I am not sure how much the '37 is going to cost me. Up front cost was pretty reasonable, and since the better half was the one that talked me into buying the car, that cost is going to be low too.

Now the real question is, "What is it going to cost to get it so that I can drive it?". So far I know that the headlights don't work, the horns don't work. and I have to figure out what it is going to take to get the door lock working. All in all shouldn't be much but ya never can tell...
