We had a '57 Chevy and it already had some Bondo around the headlights when we traded it in on a '62 Rambler Classic. That left me with a distaste for the entire Romney family. My father liked it because it had 15" wheels rather than the 14" other manufacturers were going to. And it did have the handy bed option which didn't impress the parents of teenage girls. > My fave were the late 60s Fords and Chevys. > The 200ci Ford straight-6 was reliable and super easy to service. I had a '62 Falcon Futura with the straight-6. I don't name things but I referred to it as the Thunderchicken since it looked like a scale model T- Bird, black vinyl roof and all. It must have had some Jeep DNA since it would go anywhere. My next Ford was a '73 Mustang that was baffled by an inch of snow.
