68 GTXman. Interesting, I could see Hub Automatic letting your Father use a car, or Auto Clearing, the Plymouth Dealer or Patrick Dodge the Dodge dealership.
My STORY.
1972 we headed to the West Coast with our first Charger. Homemade roof top carrier with a tent and camping supplies. Had the car checked before the trip.
Cut South in B.C. Heading for Spokane and Seattle. Had a front wheel bearing start to act up. Got to Spokane stopped at a Shell Station.
The owner said he couldn’t work on it until the next day. Then gave us his truck to use and haul our camping gear to the campground. He said the car would be ready by noon, and it was.
Refused to take any money for the use of his truck!
In those days there was a lot of good all over.

On our drive up to Alaska (from Texas), we stopped on the road somewhere in west Canada on Halloween. We had a nice dinner at a restaurant and when we finished, us 6 kids asked our parents if we could have seconds (because we were starving). Our parents said “no” (us kids didn’t know that we were poor). The owner heard this and asked my dad if he was a US service man. When hearing that he was, the owner brought all 8 of us a second dinner. Then when dad tried to pay, the owner said all of it was on the house! He next said that he knew US kids trick or treated on that day and since we were on the road, we most likely didn’t get any candy. He gave us each the choice of any $.05 candy bar (the big ones) we wanted. All of this cheered us all right up!!! God bless the Canadians! I will always love Canadians - thanks!

As for the Dodge car loan, I don’t think the man was associated with any of the repair shops. He was a customer at the transmission shop we were towed to. He had two cars and he said that he didn’t need the one car more than we did. Just an average Joe Canadian. I figured that all Canadians must be just like him - rich to have two cars and the one he loaned us had “electric windows”!

Hi just joined. We still have the 67 318 Charger that we bought on October 16th 1970. All complete, but RUSTY quarters.

Hey, RedBeard, I drive a '71 Chevy C-10 but I dream of driving my '70 GTX! It's stuck at the paint shop. Devil's Lake, right?
