“It was a 1962 Rambler, 4-door, mint green, immaculate. I worked hard to earn money for it flipping burgers. Us girls used to pile in and have a lot of fun in it.”

“1961 Pontiac Ventura. It had a four barrel carb, a standard 389 engine. It would get up and go. It was very rare. That’s what we had when we got married.”
