My wife's OLD school daily driver!
We're talking really old school.... 1923 Model-T Ford!
Original everything, 3 Doors, Hickory Wood DUBS, aftermarket side trunk storage:
No seatbelts, wood steering wheel, no speedo, HAND powered windshield wiper and you gotta enter from the right:
Hickory wood wheels and when they shaped the spokes, the leftover wood chips actually turned into the Kingsford Charcoal briquets! It was first called "Ford Charcoal":

Ford: Made in the USA... 85 years ago!
Check out the headlights, no HID kit....Kerosene powered!
Just pop the glass open and light it up!
Time to crank it up!
Check out the OEM guages:
After-market fuel dip stick!
Since there were hardly any gas stations back in the day, you had your extra fuel supply tank, water, and oil on the side:
Temp guage on the back of the hood ornament:
Empty NOS tank... j/k
What's under the hood?
They see me rollin... they hatin...
Gotta have the Jack in the Box antenna ball:
Actually, it was this guy, Rick's Daily Driver, whom we met while getting some gas:
Anywho, just thought I'd share, my wife was more into those kinds of cars than the new ones.

Dang, if I keep my G for 85 years, that means people in their flying cars would be lookin' down on us saying: "Hey, look down there, there's an old G35 coupe! It doesn't even have a force field kit! I wonder where they get gas from?"
When I asked the owner, Rick, to give me his email so I can send him some pix I just took, he looked at me, paused, and said, "Um.... uh... I don't have email."
Wow.... talk about old school.
