So confusing

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

Every point made above is valid , HOWEVER a point that can be made is we seem to strive towards restoration and authenticity here, -so why not at least strive towards calling an item by its proper name?

Think about this for a moment. It is not a problem to call Henry (who I just realized is now banned ) by his correct name, -or Jeff or Marshall by their correct name, ...but imagine the responses I would get if I were to call Jeff by another name such as Bill or Marshall simply because I think that name better suits him. The same might be said for any other person. If Jeff was in a crowd of Fordbarn people and I call-out or address him as 'Mike', would you not agree that this would cause confusion? I am guessing that everyone in that group would expect me to call Jeff by his correct name so there would not be any confusion and would even correct me. To even further this, we seem to have no problem calling a car a car, a truck a truck, --and we don't call a refrigerator a stove, so why do we not take the same position with calling Model-A parts by their proper name? Just food for thought. Have a great day everyone!!

What if you are calling him Jeff and he is OK with that, perhaps even prefers it, but his given name is actually Jeffery?. Maybe he even HATES the name Jeffery and that is why he goes by Jeff, do you call him Jeffery because that is the proper name on his birth certificate?. More food for thought.

Actually, in the small farm town I live in and the surrounding towns, NOBODY goes by a 'name' everybody has a nick name they picked up along the line. And everybody seems to know it. If you mention somebody by their actual name you draw a blank stare they don't know who you mean.

Off hand we have Gomer-Rasty-Leonard-Willie-Dr. Leo-Smuttly-BushHog-Ruben-Gizmo-TooTall-Peasy-Turbo-Drano-Darwin-Packy-Booty-Cap'n-Chief-Spud-Dusty-Sarge-Shorty-Belt Buckle-Sideshow-Hippie-Cooner-Manny-Redneck and numerous Butch's-Junior's-JR's- and Mooses and I'm just starting there are many many more.

So a Model A part can be numerous 'names! Or is that A Model-A Bone-Oogie-Babbitt Pounder-----

Anyone else use the word "glovey" instead of glove compartment?

Your handle says "Bill Williamson" but could just as easily be "William Billson".

The mixing up of flywheel and flexplate always bugs me...

As well as an engine that won't start "turns over but doesn't crank"...

One guy at a swap meet always calls me Bruce.

It is not my name, but after correcting him about 6 times at swap meets over the years, I just answer to it now.

A bit of a gag, when I am walking with someone else and he says HI, Bruce, and I say Hi back..

This topic is just wayy too serious.

motor = engine ?

"A" is the Dashboard. Remember the song. "Surrey With the Fringe on Top."
"The wheels are yellow, the upholstry's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With Isinglass curtains you can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather."

You city guys! Here's how it is in the real world (Midwest farm country). You got up in the morning and ate BREAKFAST, worked 'til noon and ate DINNER. Then you worked and did chores until 6, went in and ate SUPPER. When you were harvesting and had the neighbors helping, you served them LUNCH (sandwiches and lemonade) at mid-morning and again mid-afternoon. Calling the evening meal "dinner" was for sissified city folk!
Everybody has heard of the "Last Supper". Whoever heard of the "Last Dinner"?
