You bet. It's really nice to read a first-hand account of an original owner's experiences with one of these cars, especially in the situation where the owner drove his car pretty hard (in his own words), though he was clear to say that he didn't abuse it. Judging by past comments on this forum, I think many folks here would say this type of driving was abusive. Many folks here don't seem to think a Chrysler-made flathead can survive for long at more than 2500 - 2800 rpm, and certainly not at 3600 rpm, which seemed to be the only limit he imposed.
