The 1947 Dodge Build

Bill - thanks for the story! You mentioned when the old car broke down they would just buy another old car. That’s the way it basically was for me in the mid 60’s. Of course I wasn’t making much as a lowly enlisted man in the Air Force - IIRC about $100 a month. Bought a 10 year old 57 Ford for $50; when it broke down it was cheaper to buy another $50 10 year old Ford, then another 10 year old $50 58 Chevy then moved up in the world with a $75 59 Chevy that was still just 9 years old. In the late 60’s those 10 year old cars were really common in the junkyards
