farmer,

You and I are not far apart in age. My parents were married in 1940. They 
bought a new Willys coupe. My father shipped out for Japan and they 
dropped the bomb while he was enroute, they went in as the occupping
force. He spent 2 years there. My mother drove that Willys all during the 
war. I would spend a lot of time standing up on the seat so I could see 
out. Every time she went to slow down she would put her arm out to keep me 
from falling into the dash.

It just had a small shelf behind the seat, no room for livestock. They 
drove it all the way to 1948 when my sister was born, it was too small for 
4 of us. The engine still ran good my father sold it to a guy that was 
going to put it in a boat.
