Great idea!  In pursuit of authenticity we have drivers driving contemporary
cars.  So, to drive a '59 MGA you would (doing the math) have to have been
born in "38.  "

Yah, but remember that some "progressive" states, like Kansas allowed us to
start driving at 14 back in the good old days. Of course it was intended so
we could drive the grain trucks on the highway to the elevator.
