Default Re: How long has she been "Your Baby"?

I bought my 1929 Town Sedan in 1960--my first car--when I was a senior in high school 55 years ago. Drove it through the rest of high school and my 4 years in college. Went to EMU after passing on full-ride scholarships to U of M and MSU, neither of which allowed freshmen to have cars on campus. Before starting grad school in Ithaca, NY, got a brand new Rambler convertible, and parked the A in Grandma's garage in OH for a long sleep. In 1987, when our son was learning to drive, and it became clear that it was time to finally become a 2-car family, trucked my A back to MI and began the long restoration. Our boy was long gone by the time my Ford was back on the road.

Here we are during the high school and college days, and for extra credit, a few shots of my 2nd car, one of which captures my strongest recollection of my time in upstate NY.
