Yeah! most of the Fords from the 1930's have a strong personality, call it a soul, you can never forget.My preference would be a 1935 Ford pickup. It would need to be updated. ..... they were asking around 60K for it.

All the 1932's 34's and the 1939 coupe, are absolute all-time classic industrial design. (as reflected in today's prices for them!)
60 years ago our neighborhood small Texaco gas station had a 1935 Ford pickup like that, already a classic antique by that time. It established the character of the place.
Second car I owned was a $50 1936 Ford coupe. Wish I had kept it! Somehow just getting into it put you into a different world, as if it had a soul. Totally different from just transportation.
Auto trader says today: "Low - $6,895, Average - $42,853, High - $155,000." Clearly I'm not the only one to appreciate them.
