[V8] > Anyone else this old?

Not even close! My first car was a 1939 Ford coup with an 85 hp V8. It was  
the first year Ford used hydraulic brakes. It had a floor shifter and the  
windshield was hinged to open at the bottom for cooling in the summer. It 
did  not have seal beamed headlights. It had a key switch , a toggle switch 
and  a button for starting. I broke the key off in the unlocked position so 
only  had to use the toggle switch and button to start. One of the best cars I 
ever  owned!  Much more to share if anyone is interested.
