It was my first convertible and I bought it when I was stationed at Ft. Riley. I remember driving out in through the prairie on the night I bought it, with the top down and just marveled at the stars from horizon to horizon.
Not so grand during Kansas hail storms...
When I purchased my car, I was so taken with owning my own car that I didn't get three miles on the highway, and the engine died.
Dead out of gas...and that in the gas shortage of 1978!
I was such a fool. But how I enjoyed driving it around, top down.
Here is my best friend I went into the Navy with, both of us became jet mechanics. I went to an attack squadron on the East Coast, he went to Miramar on the West Coast.
In the picture above, we went on a road trip up to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia after we got out of the Navy...:)
What a grand time that was...a grand time.
