Aw, what sweet memories you have of your friend and her cars @Nonametoday   The one I drove (and wrecked) was this color too but had a white hard top.  It's probably what saved my life since I wasn't wearing my seatbelt Smiley Sad

 


@monicakm 

Yes, I mentioned that she had that car and after that, she never drove anything but Mercedes and complained about the service department charging her so much for "checkups."  Yet, she continued to drive Mercedes and wore pretty clothes. She was a very small person, probably a 2-3 when we were in college and maybe a 5-7 when she passed.  She was always the "best dressed" in the room.  THANKS for evoking the memories.  Some days it is good to think about those wonderful people from the past albeit sad; it's a double-edge sword to know they are gone but to have the sweet memories.

Y'all probably don't want to hear about my first car, a Buick Wildcat with a bashed in back quarter panel.

@monicakmThink more like this one in gold with matching top.  Age it about 7 years and bash in the back quarter panel.  This was the family car until a drunk lady ran a red light and hit it.  Almost a land yacht IMO.

Hey, that didn't sound very appropriate. Yes I did live in the same house with the guy with the phone.  It was an off campus boarding house for college students. Three girls and eight guys.  


 

 

That sounds like fun.  Did you guys throw parties or go to parties together?

Is that Rear View mirror sitting on the Dashboard?  I dont recall ever seeing that on the dash.  Let alone seeing the rotary phone in a car.  WOW!

 

Interesting pic!  Thanks for posting this!

I love love dated pics of ole.
