A straight 8 with a hood that opens to the side? I had a '54 with the conventional hood. I just love the rotating clothes hanger!

The ugliest grille ever made. Looks like a walrus!
It looks like you had a good life! Do you remember the smell of mohair? If that smell ever passes my nose again I'll be thinking of cars for sure.Yes, straight 8. Here’s another photo of car at my moms house in the country. Note burn barrel and home made swimming pool. Spring fed.

Me too! Well, 1950 to maybe '68. That includes Hudsons, Packards Studebakers. Edsels, de Sotos, Willys, Divcos and Croselys.I can instantly name almost all cars from 1950 through the 70's.....
The old Willy's truck is on my bucket list. Had a 49 and let it go many years ago. (sigh). Now, they're priced out of my range, especially an un-restored and untouched one. (no rat rods or trailer queens for me).These threads always get my juices going
A couple decades ago, I’d considered getting a little Bugeye Sprite
Then I sat in one…drove it
Too fat
Then, lately, I picked up a Willys pickup
Not even a beater
Just a rolling chassis with a body
It still sits there…mocking me

Gonna sell the Willys
Yeah, '49 was my birth yearThe old Willy's truck is on my bucket list. Had a 49 and let it go many years ago. (sigh). Now, they're priced out of my range, especially an un-restored and untouched one.
I can instantly name almost all cars from 1950 through the 70's. Today if there was a line of 20 different cars I could maybe name 4 or 5. I parked next to what I thought was a Jaguar a week ago then got out and looked and it turned out to be a Ford!
Don't love what you experience when you open your windows HC...but love the picture! You are the coolest!View attachment 230120
You may have seen Holly's report on our weather today. Forty degrees in metric, one hundred and four in imperial. Seriously hot and the old MG doesn't have air-con of course. But you can unwind the windscreen, so along with the cooling breeze you get: car fumes, dust, dead flies and the odd, discarded but often still smouldering, cigarette butt. Ah the joys of old cars.

There was a time when Ford owned Jaguar, but not when this car was the current model. What a surprise to see this in the supermarket car park.
