  1978 Mercury Cougar XR7, Fully Loaded

  Fantastic, Beautiful Car

  Had the big 390 engine,

  Sun roof, full power

  everywhere, burgundy

  color. I bought this from

  my father and gave it to

  my sister-in-law for her

  first real car. That lasted

  for a few months. She

  seized it up and it sat

  for a couple of years. Finally

  towed away.

  1959 Lincoln Mercury Wagon

  My 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.
