say what you mean...don't beat about the bush......

In Ohio, they're registered as "Historic" if they are 25 years old.

When this was enacted... any car that made it 25 years deserved the title.

When my dad got in a minor accident in 53 or so, he brought home a 38 Nash as
a loaner.

That was the oldest car i'd ever remembered riding in.. but I was a little
kid.

And the fact that the news article said it was a 1966 tells me it was the
real thing... they would have got that off the Police Report, which would
have been filed from from the registration.

There titles out there with the wrong year and kit cars / replicas titled
as what they resemble.

Ah yes, the Merc-O-Matic Push button transmission. Not that long ago in my
book, 1957, 1958 Mercury Monterey, Montclair, Turnpike Cruiser and Colony
Park. The 'Old Timers' of that era still leaned toward the 3 on the tree
manual transmission and influenced what we drove making today's find of a
push button transmission a valuable asset.
