what’s his granddad’s car, a Model T?

For “original” condition, shouldn’t he want a “new” car smell?

Instead of old car smell, why not classic car smell?

I could help you duplicate that old farm truck smell, but the nostalgia would be overwhelming.

Cigarette and cigar butts.

Is that anything like an old man smell?

Old car smell? Oil, beer, cigarette smoke, and five year old French fries?

I inherited my grandpa’s El Camino. Clean it up, had it repainted. The only problem was that the driver’s side window was fogged up by my grandpa forgetting to roll down the window to spit his crew. I had trouble getting the paint to stick on the driver’s door as well.

Grandpa’s Old Car Smell® – moth balls and Bengay®

Old Spice..?

Easy enough: just put a little motor oil in a saucer and burn it.

Original condition was a NEW car smell, not an old car one!
