My first car was a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe (2 dr. sedan) like this one only black: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksnell707/3025596031/lightbox/ My grandfather purchased it at a farm auction for $11. We pulled it home, rebuilt the brakes and put a clutch plate in it and I drove it to work and school.
A couple of months earlier, my cousin's grandfather had purchased him his first car, a 1953 Cranbrooke, for $12.50 at another farm auction. That meant that I "beat him" by $1.50, although one could correctly argue that he got a three years' newer car for his $1.50. I like the car, but I wasn't exactly cool, since this was the mid-70s when the cool kids were driving Mustangs and Chevelle's and such. Something tells me that most of those Mustang and Chevelle are now Canon and Nikon shooters. : ) : ) : ) Once an oddball, always an oddball. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
