1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV
Read moreCar did not have a scratch on it.
His favorite car, of which he had
many. In fact, I bought 2 Corvairs
from this man. It had the
polyester type seats. Big 460
CID engine, ran fantastic. The
only thing I did not like is the
original shag carpet. Gave this
to my dad as he got older and
was hard for him to get in and
out of the Bronco. When he
passed away, I gave it to my
sister-in-law (again).

1959 Lincoln Mercury Wagon
Read moreMy first driving experience was in a 1959
Lincoln Mercury Station Wagon. When I
was 13, my dad would send me to the store
to get milk and some cigars for him. Was
lucky no one caught me. But he knew I had
been around cars since I was 6 years old.
(We were a racing family from Michigan.
Around the tracks and pits all the time.)
And I used to pretend driving an old 1951
Hudson we had in our front yard, along
with a 1962 Hillman.
Took my first driving test in the ‘beast’. Got
a 100 % on both the written and the driving
tests (and in those days this included
parallel parking !). They even put a placque
on the DrivoTrainer for me.
A small side note…Got my first ticket the
same day I got my license. Pulled out of a
parking lot at dusk and as I did I turned on
my lights. Cop said I should have turned on
the lights sooner.
Bummer.
