Hey! I had one of those. It was a "Custom Royal Lancer". Mine was a

but I think the engine was called a super red ram rocket, or something
along those lines. It was a hemi, and hauled ass. It was a pretty
plush ride for those days.

Mine was also a "Custom Royal Lancer" but was a hardtop, not a convertible.
Looked like this, except for the color.
(it was cream top, dark blue hood and trunk and sky blue side panels)

My car was a lot uglier than yours!

And after rebuilding it for me, my father had it painted my mother's
favorite colors, "tangerine" on the bottom and "cream" on the top. It
looked like a creamsicle.- Hide quoted text -

My first car was a Lime Green Volkswagon with a phony black box and a
big wind up key on the back deck, stock from the factory... Before
that I drove street bikes...

Sorry, my Willys was uglier. But it did get me to school and back, and
"other" things.

I remember when you could buy a brand new Beetle with AM-FM radio for
what, about $1500?

I've told this story here before. My wife, long before I met her, had
a beetle that had the fake Rolls Royce front end. One day she drove
into S.F. and it got stolen. She calls the cops, crying hysterically.
The two cops take the report and when she explained the car, one of
them grinned and asked what she was crying for!!!
