-> My first car was a 39' Chevy and I drove it for a year without a
-> battery.
My first Model "A" was that way.  I drove it all through Hi School.
The rich kids sure thought it was funny to watch "Hargrove winding up
his piece of junk."
-> I could just crank it.  The generator did the rest.
Oh, mine HAD a battery. (I xpect yours did too.)  It was just unable to
take and hold a charge.  My four banger was duck soup easy, but a six
holer was a lot meaner to crank fast enough to make sparks. (I also had
a '36)  Six volt batteries cost nearly 15 bucks in those days.  Gas was
23 cents....
