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.

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).

1977 Mercury Cougar XR7, Very Low Mileage
Read moreA little over 56,000 miles. This is
my daily driver. Leather seats,
new vinyl top, original carpet.
Only a couple of small things to
do : Repaint the trunk emblem,
replace knobs on window cranks,
change one beauty ring on one
wheel, need 2 inner hub caps that
that came off on freeway, and
lastly change out engine hood
pad. Though not really needed,
the paint, due to having a semi-
metallic type of paint, has
faded a little and I will
probably repaint and pin
stripe the entire car. After that
we are ready for the car shows
again.

1966 Honda 450 Black Bomber
Read moreMy brother told me that his girl
friend’s father was looking to sell
his motorcycle. So before I looked
at the bike, I rented a Yamaha 80
from a Shell gas station to see if I
wanted to be a biker.
I had so much fun on the little
80 I had to see the 450.
2 cylinder, 1 down 3 up 4 speed,
loud, and really good looking,
I bought it for $400.
Got a motorcycle license
endorsement, never did insure
it, and rode it around until I
went into the service. Left it
out for my brother who
consequently let it go swimming
in the Anaheim reservoir.

1962 Corvette, My High School Racer
Read moreWell, I finally got tired of driving
my truck with no radio, A/C, or
cab lighting. Went driving down
Whittier Blvd and saw this
gorgeous car sitting on the lot.
Talked to the salesman, liked
what I heard, left my truck there
and drove the Vette to Anaheim
to show my dad. From there to
Anaheim Finance, at the time a 2
person office, saw the owner, and
he initially said no. Then I took
him outside to see the car, told
who my dad was and 20 minutes
later we paid the car dealer and
drove the Vette home.
I drove this to school every day
and realized this car was meant
for racing. I drove this car for a
couple of years and only sold it
because I was drafted and I knew
if it was at home, my younger
brother would destroy it and
himself along with it.

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.
