In 1951, Dan Lambertson's grandfather, a traveling salesman, bought the Ford Custom sedan pictured here new from a dealership in Glendale, Calif. The model was popular among soldiers who had returned home from the war—but also among liquor bootleggers, because the 239 flathead V-8 engine could be souped up to make it better than any other.⠀

Lambertson's grandfather drove the Ford until 1968, when he sold it to his grandson for $200. The Stockton, Calif., resident has now owned the car for longer than anything else (with the exception of the book "Triple Threat Trouble," by Clair Bee), and it has been in the Lambertson family from the day it was purchased. He finally restored the car in the early '90s. ⠀

"I remember taking it to work one day and my secretary said, 'That looks like a potato bug,'" said Lambertson, a retired attorney. The nickname stuck—Potato Bug.⠀
