“If you overhauled the engine and put retread tires on your antique car from the Thirties, Forties or Fifties, would you attempt any hint of a cross-country trip with it?”
I GUESS most all of us have heard our parents tell stories time and again that eventually end up becoming a big part of family lore. As I was growing up, I heard one such story quite often about a trip that took place during 1946 and, in full disclosure, it was just prior to this trip that my mother learned she was pregnant with me. In a sense, I was there.
To me, it’s worth sharing since it’s common knowledge these. This Buick was painted black and sported dual side-mount spare tires and a Carson top. Inside were maroon leather seats. In my mind, wore an attractive color combination.
