I'm 39 years old, when I drive around town in a V8 Ford I get lots of waves and compliments, some from teenage folks. Two weeks ago I got a young lady to shout out "I like your car!" while she was driving by at a stop sign. They do have classy looks.

Taking a ride with the bride on the back roads of southwest NH to see the foliage, eat a great meal and enjoy the sound of the flathead going through the gears.....and getting excited about installing the newly arrived Mitchell.
