Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

If I bought one I'd want period-correct seats. Those look fantastically comfortable, but... I like stock cars. (Not stock cars, the racing type.)

^^^ I have no idea on the tree car. It could have been a Forester, or maybe a Saturn?? We had a big hurricane-force freak blow through here a couple of months ago, and there was a lot of this.

How about this classic? 3-tone brown.

I was going to say Ford Model A Cabrolet - 1929ish?, but then that grill does not look like original Ford.
