LOL! Was your prof. working in Disneyland?
Don’t know. I think he was a country boy from the midwest (probably with those intersections where you could see for miles all around). At least I would hope so...
He also told us that he never financed anything (always saved and paid cash) until he bought a car a few weeks before class started. He wanted to see how financing a purchase actually worked. He was turned down because he had no credit history. So he paid cash for the car.

Model T era cars could indeed do as he said.
