Oldest Ford Driver in Mississippi Reaches 89
J. M. Crow of Ethel Mississippi is the oldest Ford driver in the state and among the oldest in the nation. He rode in a wagon train from Georgia to Mississippi as a child, witnessed Chapultepec news as a boy, served in the Civil War, and later walked 400 miles home after the Confederacy collapsed. Crow has seen transport evolve from stagecoaches to cars and buses, still driving a Model A with five generations often riding along.

Tips to Motorists for Vehicle Care and Safety
Car owners should follow practical rules to reduce carbon deposits and maintain engine efficiency. Use manufacturer recommended oil, avoid rich fuel mixtures, minimize idling, drain crankcase regularly, and do not operate with a misfiring engine. Regular checks should include spark control levers and radiators to prevent overheating and hazards.
Motor maintenance hints and valve leak causes
If a motor is allowed to ram or watchfulness lapses it may suffer serious damage from an overheated motor. A motor that runs poorly at idle may have leaky valves or Velvet guides allowing air into the combustion chamber. At idle a lean mixture causes irregular firing.
