Default Fordbarn Average Age
I read in the latest V-8 Times magazine that the average age of its members was 74. I would have never guessed that. I started a thread on the V-8 Forum asking their ages and someone suggested that I start a thread here and the A Forum.

It seems we collect the cars we grew up with and remember them as everyday transportation vehicles. I am 74 years old and remember the Model A's being used as such. I have both a Model A, a Flathead V-8 and at one time half interest in a model T.

It would be an interesting comparison between the three forums.

If you care to participate please post your age.

56 here. Seems the average is much lower than 74 so far. Somewhere in the 50's perhaps.
