Do any of us have pics of early family cars . Or stories relating to them. This was our car in the mid 1950's, a 1934 Ford sedan. The mechanical workings of cars were a complete mystery to my father . The Ford was well and truely worn out: the brakes were almost non-existant and sometimes my father occasionally ran into the rear of other cars at intersections. The distributor cap was broken and it ran on about 6 cylinders: to get up steepish hills, he would reverse it up the hill. It was sold off for 5 pounds and a brand new Standard 10 replaced it. That is my brother sitting on the running board.
