48 years ago today I picked up my new 71 Monte Carlo from Bill Fox Chevrolet in Rochester Michigan. I remember it well but there is a sad memory, my new car had two dents in the roof (probably from the car above on the car hauler and a dent in the very front, tip, of the hood.
I did take it back after a week of fun for repairs but still made me very angry!
The weekend after I took delivery I drove it and 5 of my family members to Cleveland, Ohio to visit my brother. I also remember driving South on I-75 almost into Ohio when my dad asked me how fast I was going. I replied 80 and about 2 minutes later I got pulled over for speeding!
Good times!
