Hard to imagine they are forty year owners!

Doesn't seem that strange to me.


The day we moved my daughter into her current home I made a trip from the house out to my trailer for another arm load of stuff. Just as I stepped off the porch a sweet little Glacier Blue '69 Camaro drove past her house. Of course I stopped cold and just stared at it. The lady driving it pulled into the driveway three doors down the street and right into the garage. It's still there and I keep a close eye on it. Probably a six banger. VERY plain car, but clean and straight. My daughter talks with her from time to time and has yet to ask about the car. I'm curious to hear the story.

Easy to spot. It's the house with the campaign sign in the yard.

No kidding, there is an old lady in a neighboring town that drives a twin to that car with hub caps and all. It may be a 307 car though.

Yep, I know exactly what you're talking about. I can usually smell them before I see them!!!
