Car was purchased in Nov 1965 by Mabel
Car was transferred in early 1970's to Isabelle (Mabel's sister after her death)
Car was purchased in 1982 by my parents
Car was purchased in 1994 by ME for $1.00

I would post a 1980's photo of me standing beside the car but I'm wearing short jean shorts, white with red ring tube socks and had HUGE glasses on. It's even embarrassing just writing it. (btw I'm a 70's kid).

Photo taken in 2006 at my hometown sesquicentennial celebration and where the car was purchased new. Car at this time had a 30+ year old dent, some cancer, paint cracking and worn, etc... old age....

Photo taken this past weekend after some Black Magic Wet Diamond polish. And yes, Mary (dogdots) told me I need to return to that spot when the trees get more leaves.

    Well worth the $1 spent buying this beauty.

    I'm looking forward to taking it out for a spin around town :D

    As for offering kidneys and such .. I'd offer both my kidneys just to see that photo of you wearing those red ringed tube socks :D
