Memories!

I drove a new one of those to deliver drugs (for an ethical pharmacy, NOT the Columbians).

It had the cool pushbutton shift panel to the left of the wheel. If you revved her up and pushed “D,” you could get some MAJOR rubber. Glad it belonged to the store. :-))

My neighbor who was also my 3rd and 4th grade teacher (it was a 4 room schoolhouse) used to have 2 of these! The first one was yellow and the second one was green. I did get to ride in it once and it was fascinating to me at the time to see a push button tranny. I wanted the yellow one when she got the green one to replace it, because I thought I could fix it up into a sort of batmobile (this was mid-60s). But the engine was shot and it was parked in the woods to rust. Both are probably still there as piles of rust.
