It wasn’t insurance or bean counters telling me what I could buy, it was my father :( I was 16 when my cousin who was a reposessor for CIT called and said he had just picked up a Studebaker Golden Hawk and it could be mine for $600.00 Problem was at that time I could have a drivers license in Pa. but I needed dad to

“What’s up with that giant black belt that’s going over the truck, right behind the cab?”
Hey, you liked the chrome one on the Nissan Hard Body!

That’s called a business coupe, yes I know it’s a four door but that doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

I heard there was a hold up on production because H-D hadn’t figured out how to make the electrics drip oil.

Depending on price this could be an option for gated towns and RV parks.

As a kid born in the 40's I always looked forward to the local Chrysler dealer getting the mid 50's Copper edition New Yorker’s but none seemed to have survived to the car show circuit :( And then there was the neighbors yellow Packard Carribean convertible :)

Well Land Rover used to sell “adventure vehicles” but in the US you can’t buy the hose out interior because they, the Land Rovers are not going to get dirty at the mall.

Same when I worked in Princeton in the 70's, we sold more Austin America’s than anyone, they spent their real money on their kids education.

Been jipped by gypsy :( The strip mall landlord our auto parts store was in hired some gypsies to seal the parking lot. It washed off during the next rain :(

Those batteries are going to make a beautiful fireball and light show when gravity wins and it always does and that Tesla burns up on re-entry :)

I looked at one of these when new and 1/2 the price at the Pontiac dealer, never mind that you can’t store the t top, I’m a diver and it wouldn’t hold me dry gear either. Putting wet gear on the front seat is out too!

One of those “What if’s” in my life. A neighbor had an FC sitting in his back yard for years. I was going to ask him if he had plans, if not I wanted to take it on as a project but then it was gone :(

Now this 1935 Singer needs a helicopter rotor starter to finish the package

I was working the parts counter at a Chevy dealer in Trenton, woman comes in, says she needs a door knob, I ask what she is driving, left or right, you could see the wheels turning, inside or out, more thinking. I bring out the door handle. She says, no the bathroom one is brass and round!

Stupid law, as I walk the dog around my neighborhood which came with one and two car garages I see families with two or more teens so at least four cars, yeah they could put two in the garage but I’m thinking in Minnesota that’s where they keep the snowblower and snowmobiles.

Back in the 70's when I was in the imported auto parts business we would entertain ourselves but reading the wild claims on the “Made in Japan” parts that couldn’t possibly be backed up.

The long shifter would be an improvement, quick shifts on my 67 GT-350 and the shoulder harness would lock up and I would end pushing the shifter forward with my finger tips :(

Actually on British roadsters the top and the heater were options, the tonneau may have been too. We had a few customers in Princeton who didn’t have tops and I would loan them one in a box for NJ State Inspection who didn’t buy; “The car didn’t come with one.”

I read the headline backwards. I worked for an import dealer, most imports don’t have demo programs so he would title the car to you and make the payments. Then one day he upped and disappeared, all of the accounts were emptied, taxes withheld were not paid, cars sold had not been reported to the bank and everyone

They could sell these in gated towns and RV parks where golfcarts are street legal
