I remember just like it was yesterday when I went downtown in Davenport, Iowa and my Dad bought his NEW 1951 Mercury!!!! He wore it out in two years and bought a new 1953 Studebaker!!!......Ahhh, those were the days! I bought my first new car in 1960 when I bought a new Pontiac Ventura hardtop, then in november 1963, I bought a new 1964 Fairlane High Performance 289 and 4 speed. In 1965 I bought my last new car, a 1965 Mustang 289, and I told my wife at the time that if I ever had to pay more than $3000 I'd NEVER buy another new car, and to this day I've stuck by it! "Old Fart"?????......NAH, just perfectly aged!!!
