I have to resurrect this..
Went to the gas station the other day in the 30 Fordor. The clerk said that's a nice car, what year is it? I said it's a 30 model. Did you buy it new he asked?

As my wife and I were parking our ‘29 Tudor in town yesterday, a 30ish looking guy walks up and asks: “Is that a Model T or a Model F?” No, It’s a Model A. Then he asked to see the engine, after I opened the hood, he stares at it for several seconds then asked: “Is that a V8?” Have a good day !
