Tool Time Fantasies

I came across some old tools this week that had "Ford" stamped on them.  I poked around on the internet to discover that Ford Motor Company made and sold their own tools starting in the early 1900's through 1947 to offer with their line of cars.

Between seeing classic cars in El Segundo earlier in the week, finding these tools, and hearing Mr. McCormick talk about his first car (a 1934 Terraplane), I keep having dreams and fantasies that I'm restoring a 1950 Hudson I've found in an abandoned barn.

The problem:  I don't even know how to change the oil in my own car.

Some fantasies are better left to the imagination (and paper)...
