That statement is hard to argue with, but in my view, the 1930s produced some of the most beautiful cars by all manufacturers. This was an exciting time in the auto industry, which was really coming of age and clearly graduating from the horseless carriage era to the modern way people and products were transported.

That early V8 Ford weighed only 2,461 pounds, which helped with its performance, and it was competitively priced at $575 . Ford used that same engine design through the 1953 model year. After World War II, the Ford V8 became the engine of choice for hot rodders. By this time, Ford had built millions of cars and trucks using the dependable and durable flathead V8 engine. Modification and souping up a Ford V8 engine became popular, affordable and relatively easy with a plentiful supply of parts for the job.
