Both Fords, a Thunderbird ('67) and a Fairlane of the same year.<br /><br />I liked that green color and that monorail too.<br /><br />I sure wish I still had the '67 T-bird.

Our 'progress' towards designer-approved shades ended in the late-1960's with a Coppertone, Coldspot refrigerator/freezer. Harvest Gold & Avocado never completed the walk across our threshold.

I drove her off a concrete bridge much like that one, into a frozen creek, and head-on into the concrete wall below. Nobody knows how long I was in the freezing water, but I managed to crawl out with eight broken bones, up the bank, across the road, and to the nearest house for help.<br /><br />The Hornet was totaled, but the mechanic found my glasses in the creek bed. My internal thermostat has never been the same since. If there had only been creek mermaids, they could have wafted me onto their rocks and sung me soothing lullabies until help arrived. <br /><br />"When you wish upon a star,<br />Even if you wreck your car,<br />Anything your heart desires<br />Will come to you.<br /><br />Soon your sternum’s cracked in three,<br />And you can’t walk on your knee,<br />When you wish upon a star,<br />With bad brake shoes."<br />Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-83716888477807319352014-02-25T07:15:14.213-08:002014-02-25T07:15:14.213-08:00Of all the Mark IIIs, "Old Greenie" was ...Of all the Mark IIIs, "Old Greenie" was my favorite.
