Thank you OMG I saw a '47 Dodge driving down rte 140 on Thursday. About 3/4 of the original paint left . 5 window coupe in daily driver shape. Regular registration, not antique plates.

I like to read the early service procedures like remove the head every 1,000 miles to scrape off the carbon.

What would a mechanic in 1920 say about changing the spark plugs every 100K miles?

In the 1940's the expected useful life of a car was about 50,000 miles-- with a lot of mechanical attention needed along the way.
