I remember when this photo was taken,1970. Beacuse dad said the Model T was 50 years old
everyone thought that was realy old :o. My Galaxie is 60 years old this year and not close to
how old the Model T was 1970 ???
Dad was 29 in the pic should have been 84 today

Nice. Looks like Grumpy Jenkins getting ready to bang second gear.

Cool stuff Heo!  Yes it is shocking when I look at a 25 year old car now vs when I was a kid in the 70's. 

The late 90's cars still look pretty modern and a lot of them are on the road.  In the 70's you wouldn't see any late 40's or early 50's stuff on the road.  They were so old fashioned and archaic!
