I want my 1950 Ford Falcon back. Stick shift so hard to steal. 29 miles per gallon. Easy to fix anything.

Probably 1960. Exactly what my grandfather had. Light blue.

I bet with no regulations to worry about that car companies can design a great engine for trucks and cars that gets 30mpg and 350hp.

You had a 1950 Ford Falcon when they came out 10 years later? Typo error I think. However the falcon was a good example of an inexpensive & fairly good small car that the public could actually afford, AND a decent used Falcon could be found & was a good buy also. Can’t say that much for an EV & particularly not a used one.

I learned how to drive in my dad’s ‘49 Plymouth, stick on the column, no power brakes, no power steering, no turn signals, no seat belts, hand cranked windows, dimmer switch on the floor, bench seats, no A.C. but the heater worked great. Optional radio. I loved that car.
