Some Imperial type told me they were called "Sit-up-and-beg-Fords". Really. Huh?? By the way, the current issue of the big glossy English old car magazine has a decent article on Anglias and relatives. Can't think of name of mag--says "Ford 8 and 10" or some such on cover.
Ooh man, a pet peeve of mine. It drives me nuts when people ask me "Is that an Angela grille in your car?" And I reply, "No it's an AN GLEE UH grille." And they reply "That's what I said." Actually in the home of their birth they were called Populars or 'sit up and begs' the Anglia line came later.
This is how my lil' brother pronounces it with a 1961 dialect....says he's gonna run 9's with this one....Our own "Lockjaw" helped in the build at his shop...thanks!
Ang-Leer. When I was a kid I always struggled with "Popular" It always came out as "pop-leer" (Rhymes with Draclia) "Sit up and beg" is sometimes used too. Mart.
