Dtret Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 That’s good news. That will save me a ton of money and drive time. I really didn’t want to go anyway. More money to spend on my blue oval. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 OK everyone, I just wanted to make sure everyone realized it WAS an April Fools joke. I figured I better announce this because I got a text today from a member asking if it was indeed an April Fools joke. I didn't want anyone canceling their plans and room reservations. rob 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I think a lot has to do with what you grew up with. For most, not all. There’s a lot of great vehicles out there that aren’t bow ties. To each there own and I’m ok with it. I grew up with Montes. My dad had a 71,73,76,80 and 84. Mom had a 76. My first was a 77. I’m so bow tie loyal that I won’t even get a GMC. Lol. And they make a better truck, option wise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so bow tie loyal that I won’t even get a GMC. Lol. And they make a better truck, option wise. Dennis, That is partially true. For me, for as long back as I can remember my parents were GM owners with the oldest one I can remember it was a Pontiac with a light up indian head hood ornament. After that Pontiac it was always Chevrolet's. As many of you allready know my first car I bought back in the spring of 1966, when I was 15 was a Blue Oval and 56 years later it is still kicking. It is my 1929 Model A Tudor Sedan but back then I think they were built better. My interest in the Model A Ford Blue Oval started when I was 9 years old and we were driving from Jacksonville to Tampa, Florida to visit my grandparents and we saw this long line of Model A's going in the opposite direction. When I asked my dad what they were he told me they were all Model A Fords and at that time I said out loud "I'm going to own one of those one day" and with a doubting tone in my dad's voice he said "I'm sure you will." I immediately started saving my money. Back then I earned my money by cutting many of our neighbors yards, pulling weeds, cutting hedges and anything else I could do for the neighbors to earn money. Once I thought I had enough money I saw that Model A Tudor Sedan sitting in a car port and started to bug the guy to sell it to me. When I finally told me dad about it and he asked me what year and body style it was and when I told him it is a 29 Tudor Sedan he smiled and said, "my first car was a 1929 Ford Tudor Sedan" so at that time I saw it as a sign that I needed to buy that car and my dream came true. Other than my 29 Blue Oval 29 blue oval, I have never owned anything except a GM vehicle. rob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I have had two furds. a 59 Fairlane junker never got any heat in that thing and my dad had it for 5 years and me only 3 weeks and a Escort woody wagon my daughter fell in love with. We test drove it and it ran and drove good went and got the money paid for it and every time I stopped at a red ligjht on the way home it died and we never got it to running and sold it 6 momths later, A good friend gave me a 1968 Yellow and Black Dodge Wagon with the tranny out. $85 later it had a junk yafrd tranny in it and drove it for 3 years, That old Dodge never faild to start no matter how cold it got and really was a great car. Those are the only non GM's I have ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnette Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 When I was 16 years old, I made a deal with a guy on a 72 Gran Torino Sport. He backed out at the last minute because his wife didn’t want him to sell it. The following week I found my 71 Monte. I wasn’t crazy about it at first, but it beat driving my dad’s 67 C10 pickup. I bought it for $1,425 and made it my own. The rest is history! 43 years later and I still own it. I’ve been selling new Chevrolets for 33 years. No telling where I would be now if I had bought that Ford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably at a Starsky & Hutch event dressed up like Paul Michael Glaser or David Soul, slappin’ around Huggy Bear for the latest word on the streets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
