My first ever car was a 1937 Dodge 4 door sedan that my grandfather had had since 1939 and donated to me in 1964. Had the straight flathead 6 and gotta say that motor was bulletproof. I tried to blow that motor up so I could install a small V8 in it and that hing would just not let go. A valve job is all I ever did to that motor and when I sold the car years later it was still purring, never overheating or using a drop of oil.
Sure wish I had that car back.
