What year is it???
May be the most common question asked by "civilians" when they see an "old" car. At least that's been my experience. Here's an example of one way to deal with it..............Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Fellow in our local club has "Its a 39" on his license plate.
Still gets asked occasionally. hmm?

My Galaxie has 69 painted on the doors cause thats the Number I race under, yea thats it, well ppl always say is that yer 69 Fairlane?? No its a 68 Galaxie.
I worked at a BMW motorcycle shop for a while, the car shop next door had a 65 stang for sale, but it was missing a emblem so to fill in the hole we put a BMW logo on her, when a guy came to look at it we told him BMW made the stang for 2 years, he said oh yea thats right, bought the car then picthed a fit when his buddys laughed at him "Car Challanged People" AS I like to call them are funny.

I used to love it when people would come up to me when I had my 38 Plymouth and tell me it looks exactly like the ZZ Top car. Yep, it looks exactly like it alright.Mike Casella

OUCH-Streets. "Dune Buggy." UGH
You have touched on a dismay of mine. My roadster upon a '52
Stude. frame and sundry components, replica of Miller/Allard 1930's vintage.
When questioned by buffoons using THAT term,
this Geezer clams up and heads for coffee.

My 37 has 37 chev for the plate number and the last show I went to I had atleast 6 people ask me "WHAT YEAR IS IT" Guess I'll have to paint the year on the side.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
