    I remember when those cars with the spark and throttle on the steering wheel were in daily use.  Are we getting too old, or what?


    I was born just after the war so I don’t remember them being daily
    transportation. However when I became a teenager we could buy
    them for $15.00 to $50.00. Coupes were more. Bodies were
    modified. 4 cylinder motors got replaces with Olds and Caddy V8’s.
    Those early car we built were scary crude. Did that on and off
    for 50 some years.
