They are probably asking each other "what kind of car do you think it is"

My son and I had a real good time at the parade. Lots of cheers and interest in the car. BUT it was hard in the car. Lots of stopping and starting was hard on the clutch and sine we moved at a crawl the car was running hot by the end of the parade. Not sure I'd do it again. Anyone else have similar feelings or is there something else I could have done to make it easier on the car?

I did a parade once in my '52 J back in '02 - it was an hour and a half of riding the clutch.  Bad sore knee when it was over. I have not done it again.  The nice thing is the Henry J is not prone to overheating but a lot of other cars in the parade did. It's not uncommon.
