In 1951 my father and i made a trip from Iowa City to Davenport, then 55 miles on two-lane, in a recently acquired 1933 Plymouth two-door. Exactly one hour after we left Iowa City the Plymouth was on a lube rack in Davenport, for its scheduled oil change. On the way home, later that day, that little six threw at least one rod through the pan.
A friend towed us home on a towbar, and it was then that we discovered that the speedometer in the Plymouth was 20 mph slow.
Education is always expensive.
God's Peace to you.
