When I was a boy, my father bought a new ‘65 Mustang fastback. Soon after, he bought a new ‘66 Ford Galaxy for my mother as the family car. With a daughter who looked like Patty Duke and three sons with astronaut style buzz cuts, we had to have been the hippest family on the block.
Patty apparently wasn't the all-American girl she appeared to be...
"Duke was married four times and had three children.
In 1965, Duke married director Harry Falk, who was 13 years her senior.
During their marriage, she had repeated mood swings, drank heavily, became anorexic and overdosed on pills a number of times.[8]
The couple divorced in 1969.[8]
In early 1970, at the age of 23, Duke became involved with three men at the same time: 17-year-old Here's Lucy star Desi Arnaz, Jr.,[8] actor John Astin, who was 16 years her senior, and rock promoter Michael Tell.[35][36]
The relationship with Arnaz was widely publicized, due in part to the vocal and public opposition of Arnaz's mother, actress and production company executive Lucille Ball.
By late spring, Duke and Arnaz had broken off their relationship.
In June 1970, Duke learned she was pregnant and married Michael Tell on June 26, 1970..."
Their marriage lasted 13 days before ending in an annulment on July 9, 1970;[8]--Wikipedia
IIRC the 1975 Grand Torino was about $5500. My choice at that same price was a 1974 Thunderbird with a bunch o’ miles or a brand new Grand Torino. (Only new car I ever bought)
Nephew and a buddy totaled the Torino several years later.
Humph, the Internet found a used one for sale about 120 miles from me at $9,995 with 90,000 miles. (must have had a sale on 9’s today)
