This guy in town here is driving me nuts.  I am not a cars salesperson but he for some reason he thinks I can sell a car for him.  It is a 1942 Ford Deluxe. One of the ones built before Roosevelt did the thing, a call back perhaps, or a halting of making these cars because of the war.  It is black or dark blue.  Cannot tell because it is not shiny, the way old cars are supposed to be.  It has a radio in it.  It is very spacious.  I did not see any rust.  It is quite dusty.  The seats are not ripped to shreds.  It has wheels and it has bumpers.  It does not look like it should be in a scrap yard.  It is in a garage and it is facing east.  This is important because years ago this man took a picture of me standing in front of it and we were facing west.  This means the car is able to move, which means it must still have an engine it.  It was shiny then.  This was in 1984. He may have had it in parades in this town at one time, because his dad used to have a Model T, that he always exhibited in the parades.  I would not have noticed the Ford Deluxe being as everyone who does not know anything about cars would only notice the Model T.  His father sold the Model T.  He has passed on.  I suppose the son is trying to be like his father and wishes to also sell an old car.  Please help.  He is driving me nuts.  He is also driving my friend nuts.  Are all car geeks relentless? Maybe you two should meet?

screu chevy. they can't make my 61 impala get 35mpg. i have one word for them c i v i c. ... and i'll disguise it as a 56 bug,a 2A, or a bugeye sprite. i'd really like a tesla. i'd even add a trailer and haul another set of batteries or a generator. i'd use the tesla chassis in my little oval buggie. plasmaboyracing's white zombie. uhhh ... yeah.    the town's still onto my junkyard. if i had half a brain i'd use the basements for shop space. i'd like to work on your cars, jay. not the greasy end- i'm a welder/ fabricator. i'd like to build you something. i especially like vintage trucks, and micro cars- even perhaps smaller takes on vintage. remember the 8/10 early 50's chevy p/u. neat. saves gas. i'd like to see a slightly smaller cobra, or gt350 (early), wouldn't it be eerie to see a 7/10 early gt350? a smaller 2A? i love my willys wagons. today they'd be really cool... smaller yet. hopefully, i'll get the benz 300D chassis under one. 53 jeep. 130mph. WHAT? i towed it faster than it ever went under power- about 75, on a homemade stiff hitch. (lived to tell....). also... put em on rails.    whadda you need? jackstands? i'm building a bandpass box for my impala. one 18 inch jbl. 2.7dB from 35 hz to 75 hz. about ten cubic feet. cool. ...and ev s-40 monitors. have you ever felt like... bill joel was in the car with you? it's a nice feeling made better by the use of less than a thousand watts. help get the town off my butt. please.
