My Dad Was A Classic?
Richmond Times Dispatch columnist (www.timesdispatch.com) John Markon alludes to a secret blogsite. His column today reveals part of this supposed blogsite including this: “Wednesday, Feb. 15: Franco, a security guard at my housing complex, ends a discussion about classic Italian cars versus American cars by saying that Ford once built a car called the "Torino" but that no Italian company ever built a car called the "Detroit."”
My first car was a 1934 Ford coupe, a $75 purchase. Big-time for a high school sophomore. Never was into custom hot rods but had I kept that car… A couple of years later it was a “49 Ford” sedan, again big money for a senior. Now that I’m a senior again... Memories, oh’ the memories. Memories are good, so are old cars. They last longer than old men, sometimes. Would that my children, all six of them have a few good memories, old cars, old parents. Hopefully I’ll have time to make a positive memory for them. In my opinion, Fords haven’t been so great over the past 50 years but neither have I.
Had I to do it all over again, I’d strive to be a classic. I am sagewitageatyahoodotcom.
