What's the oldest car ...

What's the oldest car that you can recall being used as a normal, disposable, daily driver (ie not a collector car)? I was talking to an 85 year old friend who said he drove a 1937 Ford until it wouldn't make it past the junkyard anymore, then scrapped it. Any '37 Ford would be a collector car these days. I drove my '56 Porsche as a DD for a year, but it was always considered a collector car.
The oldest disposable DD I can remember is my uncle's 1950 Dodge business coupe in about 1970. Again, any 1950 car has potential as a collector car now. The oldest car I ever drove as a regular DD was a 1960 VW in 1968-70. Wish I had kept it.
