Yeah, a '51 introduced me to interesting technology like kingpin reamers. otoh I paid $35 for it and had a lot of fun in the car. Can't beat that old straight 6. My family had a new '51 when we drove across country. In her version of a pilot's automatic rough she would start worrying about the tappets in the middle of Wyoming. I'm not sure she even knew what a tappet was. Before hydraulic lifters a noisy valve train was a happy valve train but with her wolf's ear every click portended disaster.
