It was a Dodge, a 1950, in Wisconsin, and I bought it in 1960, with only 10,000 miles on it--
it could not leap tall buildings, but it was able to exceed the speed limit, park on the
railroad tracks, go the wrong way on a one-way street, house fifteen of us at one time,
and hit every hot spots--all with the purchase of a quarter per gallon of gas!

It retired at 250,000 miles, donating its parts and enjoying the warm climate of Florida for
its last days...
