We restored a '36 Plymouth Sedan when I was a kid. Old guy we got it from was the original owner,sold us his '36 sedan, kept his '36 coupe. That was a damn fine car. 6 cylinder, radio, heater, doors that locked and would go close to 100 mph too.

Your not hijacking at all, my grandfather is the reason I am a motorhead today.
His son (My moms brother) was repairing cars in the garage when he was 14 and making money off the neighbors eventually opening up his own shop when he was 18.
I was more impressed with the fact he was one of the 1st to go inside a concentration camp, he was also involved in the storming of Sicily, Normany and the Battle of the bulge even the Battle of the Caserine Pass.
How he lived through the war is amazing to me.
