I once read a book on cars where in Colorado, one of the first car dealers there was a boy 11 years old. I admire the responsibility our ancestors accepted at a young age, my grandfather quit school in 1914 at the age of 13 and got a job, so he had adult responsibilities at a much younger age than people today. Shame the Progressives killed that. B-(

This reminds me of an amateur radio operator that I knew. He was born in 1914 and still drive a classic car, a 1964 Rambler American 990 he bought new. If he’s still around (moved to Florida), he would be 98 and if in good health, still driving and jabbering on the amateur radio at the same time. Would be kind of cool to fix these guys up. B-)
