I have to resurrect this..
Went to the gas station the other day in the 30 Fordor. The clerk said that's a nice car, what year is it? I said it's a 30 model. Did you buy it new he asked?
He made a 55 year old feel ancient.

Back in the mid '50s I was driving a '27 Model T coupe, fellow pulled up beside me and asked "what kind if car is that?", I replied: "it's a Model T", he said: "I know it's a Model T, what make is it?", "Ford" I answered, "Thanks" he said and drove off.

I have the original tail lights and brake lights on my tudor, I was driving down PAC Highway, which is a four-lane road, at a traffic lite, this guy in an old ratty El Camino pulls up alongside me, and says “when you hit your brakes your back up lights come on”. I just thanked him and drove on.

As my wife and I were parking our ‘29 Tudor in town yesterday, a 30ish looking guy walks up and asks: “Is that a Model T or a Model F?” No, It’s a Model A. Then he asked to see the engine, after I opened the hood, he stares at it for several seconds then asked: “Is that a V8?” Have a good day !

The "Waltons" and "Did you buy it new?" are classics. I haven't had anything except "That's a nice car"!

As I stopped for a light a couple days ago, a girl about 17 asked, "How old is your car?" I said, "It was built in 1929. I’ll let you do the math." She smiled, said "Wow", and waved as I drove off. Just another way to engage younger people.

My friend is 32; a few years ago somebody asked him if he was the original owner of his 31 Roadster Pickup. They were dead serious too.

You've gotta be friendly if you own an A' the whole world likes to talk to you when you drive them.
