Seems pretty weird doesn't it? How the technology changes over time and how fast time passes.
My first car just turned "84" years old a few weeks ago. I'm guessing it will outlive me sooner or later.
I always like to look at a car and try to imagine what was going on at the time the car was sold and what the buyer was thinking when they purchased it.
In 1971, we just survived the 60's: Woodstock, British Invasion, Hippies, drugs, still involve in Vietnam, etc.
In 1936, we finished WWI, still in the depression, car companies going out of business, few jobs, war in Europe, soon into WWII, etc.
