Default On MSN home page today. 12 Classic Cars to Own


Photo Credit: Bocman1973 / Shutterstock.com


The Model A Tudor Sedan is a touring vehicle with enough room for four people. The successor to the famed Ford Model T, this vehicle has an L-head-4 I4 engine and a 3-speed manual transmission with sliding gears. Some models from colder climates feature cast iron covers that go over the exhaust manifold to allow the cab to feel a little warmer during the winter. This classic car can be found for about $13,000.

Isn't amazing that with faded paint, dull and rusty bumpers, these cars still look damn good.
Take any car build today and look at it in 80+ years...yuk

Same thing could be said for most of us: extra weight, wrinkles and gray hair (if we still have hair)

FWIW: This photo was taken in Germany and the Tudor is for sale on www.moviecars.de (or the youtube video here). Their asking price is 24,930 Euro or about $26,780.....a little more than two times the $13,000 quoted in the MSN article!! This patinized Tudor, with 48,000 original miles, was imported a while ago from Nebraska to Germany.

Fordially,

Keith ya got THAT right A lot of todays cars look nasty before they are ten years old, as most people I have noticed do not take good care of their vehicles. They beat them and then gripe when they break down.
