Nothing like a Poet writing the winds and letting her verse sing for her.

My first was my Dad's 1957 Ford V8--rebought fron a school teacher. Won many a drag race and copped a feel or two.

And then, my brother and I shared a 1935 Ford Coupe with a 1951 Cadillac engine. Scared off the road. Website logo.

Why is your weather so erotic!

My first car was a red 1962 Plymouth Valiant, LOL. My uncle gave it to me unexpectedly, when I was in 10th grade. I thought I had won the lottery and I was suddenly cool with an inline slant six cylinder ticket to personal independence. I couldn't have been more elated if it had been a Maserati. I finally traded it in at 287,000 + miles. What a great poem to spark high school age memories! Great job, Kimmy!

They can't take those memories away from us, can they?

Thanks for the smile and the momentary escape to my first cars and the "Good Old Days."

Kimmy,

I can feel your passion running through my bones. These are memories no one ever forgets. My first car was a 1955 chevrolet overly used and well abused. Isn't youth wonderful? The General Robert E. Lee had nothing on my flying chevy.
