Not a whole lot different

GM v. Ford

1940 Chevy and a 1949 Ford. I'd call it a tie.

Tracks of my tears....

My late uncle had a car exactly like that Ford, sans damage. If I'm not mistaken, this accident occurred in front of a low-life drinking establishment known as the Corner Bar, where patrons frequently got totally smashed....

DEPENDability

"America's Most Beautiful Outboard Motors." With 1956 prices.

Two badly bruised sternums (sterna?) here.
