Default Gears Hung Up, What are the Chances?!

So, I'm driving down the Sunrise Highway today, through my old neighborhood of thirty years ago, Baldwin. As the light turns green at Oceanside Rd I notice a nice old Chevy, so I turn off the radio and open the windows to listen. It's a stick...nice. Woops,a gear hangs up and the car fades behind me so I pull over to see if I can help as he pulls off the road. I pull alongside and ask "You need help"? he replied, "nah, just the shifter hung up" (I knew that), I say, "Richie?" I did not recognize him at first but the sound of his voice was so familiar. He lived right down the block from Moton and we spent many years hanging out.
After 24 years, I bump into my old pal. So great to see you Rich!!



He was on his way to work, this is his daily driver, his 55 Nomad is just out of the paint shop.

An 'almost good deed' rewarded.

That sure was one of those "it's a small world" moments.

Here is a shot of the Nomad, nice reflection in the black paint.
