I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.

I'm 57. This is a picture of my Dad and I at the MARC National meet in Indianapolis in 1970. In the second picture, the truck and I are at the MARC National meet in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 2012.
Dad will be gone 33 years in January, the truck is still here, both are much loved. Thanks Dad.

Try 72 on for size. Purchased by first "A" in 1978 - still own it and have added quite a few more to the fleet over the years. Great hobby!

All i have to say is I am glad for you guys, myself I can't stand it. So I got a flat (new tire and tube) my son took it apart and tube had ever so small pin hole, no nails or nothing
looked like a defect so i patched it. 4 hours to mount a measly 6-00-16 not counting sitting down time. gotta be kidding. I have mounted dismounted thousands of 10-00-20
11-00-20 truck and bus tires and now can't even do a toy tire. And I'm the same age as my only set of wheels....UGG

Looked up life expectancy for males in the USA, and several of you, including me, are past your sell-by date. Is that because you, or we, own old cars? Or, is that because we are too stupid to die? Well, whatever, congrats if you reached 77! You beat the national average.

Now me, at almost 78, I'm building a 24 T roadster hot rod. I must be a special kind of super stupid!
