Does anybody remember 1965?

A high school classmate of mine had a Triumph TR4 Convertible. His name was Mark Poore, and in May, 1965, we decided to take a weekend drive through the Shenandoah Valley to Waynesboro, VA. He was crazier than me. He wore a chromed German WWII helmet the entire trip. There were times when I didn't think we get out of the valley alive.

Had a 1958 vette, and sold it to buy a new 67 Mustang from Ben Alexander Ford in LA. He was Joe Fridays partner on 'Dragnet'.

 

You Old Man !!

 

I thought Harry Morgan, aka Colonel Potter, played his partner.

We need some better emoticons! These will put you to sleep.

Harry was one of two partners, and the best.

 

That must have gotten some interesting looks from the locals.....

 

Yep the vette' 1953, production #100 of the 300 manufactured. My dad had some money problems in 1967 when my mom got sick. I was in Nam and it was about all I could offer to help. I saw one just like it many years ago at a Beach Boy concert at USC. I think it might even have been the same one ?

I never even asked dad what he got for it. Mom had my power of attorney and I told her to sign the pink. LOL

I am way too old to drive it around today anyway. LOL Might look like a mid-life crisis ! Or a very late life one !

 

They may have been hillbillies to some, but they were red-blooded Americans through and through.

Cladking, that is a very interesting view of the time. Thanks.

 

Each of us is stuck in some way to a point in our lives. A period of time we live in forever.

 

True. Nice to visit....To reminisce. But don't dwell there too long. These are the good old days......
