My '66 500 and I spend our 44th anniversary together

[patrick66]

April 1 is the day I bought my Coronet 500 from my brother-in-law in 1980, taking possession of it one year later to the day, as I returned from my first duty station in Alaska.

That's really cool. I wish I would have had the smarts to keep a couple of my cars from the 80's.

No kidding huh? The cars i pretty much gave away in the 80s and 90s make me cringe.

I hope 'she put out' on the 44th anniversary

cool to have it that long

I'm going on 19 years with my current 68 RR, Dec 2005 for $6,000
complete running & driving car, a bit rough, very lil' rust, but all there...
I had a couple at the same time, so not much done on it the until after 2007
& coming up on 25 years with my 99 Dakota SLT 4x4,
I bought new off the lot, Nov. 1999
the time fly's

Campion AFS, just 10 miles upstream from Galena. It is all gone now, and is the dump for the Town of Galena. What a great duty station is was then!
