1948 Indian Bonneville Chief, 1951 Mercury coupe,
1956 Tbird, all from 1950 to 1962. Reasons for letting go:
college, navy, growing family. Good decisions at the time
but would like them back.
The steering wheel makes a squeaking noise when turned. I had
a mechanic take it apart and lube it (do not know with what);
helped a little for a short time. Is a tilt wheel. Tried to spray
some silicone in without taking apart but that didn't help.
fun game:
1987 mercury grand marquis

Also have 1977 honda goldwing but didn't include as game
said cars, not vehicles.
Did you happen to get photos of any of the 8 71-73 cars? Would like to see
them if you did.
I didn't go to Knotts this year or last but went for most of the 10 yrs before then.
My reaction then was similar to yours, where are the 71-73s?
Will be 79 this yr so 60 sounds young. Things I do are softball in
a senior league (55 plus), regular gym (showing up counts), walk
at least 20 minutes most days (going to car shows takes care of
that).
Thanks for the welcomes from near and far. Where I am located
in san diego area is carlsbad.
