We pretty much thought they were crap back then, not like they made them in the '30's. Well guess what? A car from the 30's did good to get 40K miles, a car from the 50's did good to get 100K miles, and a car today does good to get 250K miles. And the current ones are many times as complicated as well (which, of course, means you can not easily rebuild them in the driveway). BTW, my first car, a 52 ford convertible, got better gas milage then my current one.
