My Dad had a '35 Chevy.

Don't remember any wood on it, but the fenders were held on with
baling wire they were rusted out so badly by the time he finally
junked it at the end of WWII.

That car gave new meaning to the term "Rust Belt".

Also, those were the war years, there were no new cars.

You patched up what you had and drove it.

That reminds me of my own father's story about his 1932 Chevy. He was
drafted in 1942 for the war and could find no one willing to buy
his old clunker, so (he claimed) he drove it to the induction center, parked
it and went on in to report for service. That was the last he saw of it.
Of course when I first heard this story from him as a kid, he always
said he wished he had kept it!
