When I was growing up, we had an assortment of cars. Dad bought one GOOD car to get back and forth to work. After that, he got whatever he could get a good deal on. First recollection was a 1953 Pontiac followed by a 1958 Pontiac. Then came a 1962 Mercury Comet station wagon. Then there followed a line of various makes of used cars. Mother had a 1948 Chevrolet for many years followed by a 55 Ford Crown Vic convertible, a 55 Dodge Royal, and somewhere in between was a Studebaker. I also remember a 63 Buick somewhere in the mix. Once I started having my own cars, I was pretty much GM until somewhere in the mid 1970s. When I went to work for a Ford dealer, I saw how much better the work paid, how much easier it was to work on Fords, and that they were better built all the way through. From there on, I preferred Fords, but I had no problem with Chrysler cars either. I did own my share of them. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, I didn't much care about whatever the politics of the companies or their owners/founders were. The object was to get the most reliable car possible, since they ALL needed a LOT of maintenance back then. If it wasn't the semi-annual tune-up, it was shocks, mufflers, valve cover gaskets, or any combination of them. In that era, engines leaked, shocks had a short life, and exhaust started falling off no sooner than you put it on. Fords and Mopars were cheaper to run in those days. Then Chevrolet had their issues with cams, lifters, rocker arms, and pushrods. I only ever put ONE cam in a Ford. I got a bit of a bad taste for Chrysler cars over those K-cars. They were not the sturdiest. I like my Fords. They have served me well, and continue to do so on a daily basis.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
