I hope not. This was during the Great Depression, and I was there.

those photos.

Still plenty of places around here like that; buildings, general stores,
voting by paper ballot put in a box, covered bridges, etc...

....but the bleeding hearts who are Ohfeeeended at everything are ruining it
piece by piece.

And Dust Bowl days. My mom grew up on a farm in south central
Nebraska. She remembers red dust on clothes hanging on the clothes
lines. That dust must've come from Oklahoma.
Some pics he http://tinyurl.com/bw7puxe
I think that was when the first farm programs started.
Unemployment was maybe 25% in the cities. The U.S. government didn't
want a bunch of unemployed farm families adding to the problem.

Ford has now licensed a body kit for the 1940 Ford Coupe (shown in one
photo)

Still plenty of places around here like that; buildings, general stores,
voting by paper ballot put in a box, covered bridges, etc...

I bet it won't sell for $400 like the original did.

Right. Priced from $11,900 for the basic model and ranges close to
$15,000 once all the panels are included.
