Oops, link for the '62 corrected. ;-)


That's it...except mine had the wood trim on the back half of the car.
Actually had 8 teenagers in it and busted the rear spring mounts.
On a long downhill highway run I had it up to 89 mph. Pretty crazy on
those 12" 'lifesaver sized' tires.
Bittersweet memories on that car. Paid $400.00 for it, learned to drive
by tooling around without a drivers license or insurance and eventually
broke the accelerator in a stuck on position doing major motor damage.
Another $400.00 for an engine re-build and I was in hock up to my eyes
(making $1.35 per hour working weekends at a grocery store)
Oh yeah...due to bad brakes I rear ended the Volkswahen doing $80.00
damage to it's bumper and the authorities make me surrender my plates
until I paid for the Bug's repairs and showed proof of insurance.
That was a major downer that affected me through most of high school.
