Anyone want to make a guess for this trivia question? My answer is the Morgan. The Morgan body is basically unchanged from the dseign from the 30's. It stil has a leather strap across the bonnet. The engine however has changed over the years, and the new ones run on propane to meet emission requirements. Anyone with a thought of taking on one of these cars - think again. They may look old but the modern ones are HOT. The design however is right out of the 30's. Anyone got an older answer. For enthusiasts, see the Nov or Dec, (not sure which) Road and Track. They have a feature article on 75th anniversary of the car.
