Pulled over by the Police!

[Bob Bidonde]

I was pulled over by the police 3 times that I recall while driving my Coupe.


The 1st time was by an officer who recognized my Coupe was not registered or inspected. I had a Marlboro cigarette pack in the windshield that kinda sorta looked like a reg sticker. Fortunately he was a Model A'er and we became good friends.


The 2nd time was by an officer who wanted to have a photo taken with his foot on my running board.


The 3rd time was for convoying on the Connecticut Turnpike (Pre I-95 days, the 1970s). I was leading a group of Model A's to the trolley museum in Branford. The A's were a car-length or more apart, but that wasn't enough for the Connecticut State Trooper who insisted the cars be 50 to 75 yards apart. The MAFCLI paid for the ticket.
