Similar to the picture was the car but dad had a 4 door model in red & black and could not find one on the internet...

The Accident… Driving not long was I at seventeen, He kept his car quite nice; always he did preen, A 63’ Chrysler Three Hundred it was, Mint condition till I started to drive, My dad worried more about the car, Than my driving and arriving alive… On a dark back road in nineteen seventy-two, A horse farm had an escape, these horses they could not subdue, Ran into the road in front of me, I slammed on the brakes, The second horse of the pair did the Chryslers rear fender break… Called my dad from the police station nearby, I told him a horse HIT ME, no dad I do not lie, Hanging up he did after this reply, He told me to call back when I was sober, The cop had to call him back and tell him I did not go awry, His beautiful car all dented and scratched, But the poor horse did suffer more, To horsie heaven he was forever dispatched… © ed ~ 6/19/05

Luckily, you survived; and you painfully reminded me of a few similar escapades from my extremely reckless, steal the car whenever I possibly could, days. Glad you made it, Bro.

Unfortuntly that is the way it usually ends with horses and accidents, they have to shot them. The car I am sure was replaced. Great write.

Shame on you, Ed, for not being killed in the accident along with the stupid animal from the "equus caballus" family. Shame, indeed.

And the moral of the story is: Never let a young and inexperienced driver drive anything you care about. It really does seem that they will get into at least one accident before they learn how to see in 360 degrees. Great story, Ed. Is that when your father stopped speaking to you for good???. Just kidding, of course, but how about the owner of the horse?
Take care,
Sherry
