<VV> Fans / 1960 habits

[Ron]

No, Matt, I was very middle class and four years was considered the "normal" 
life span of a car from around 1930 to maybe 1960.  Usually the upholstery, 
plastic steering wheel, paint and the engine all needed attention after four 
years.  Things are entirely different now.
