My brother, who we now affectionately call "Uncle Fancy", had the finest ride in Roslindale ... a 1965 Ford Fairlaine XL convertable, .. dark green with a lot of just right chrome and a black interior.

I have no idea where it came from, but he had a 45 player installed under the dash.

The records could stack 8 or 10 on a spindle that would drop one at a time .. the arm swung in and rode the groove, lifted, moved away, and the next would drop.

I was a kid then of maybe 16 years, and though he rarely let us 'twerps' ride in his car ... when we did ... MAN! .. that was MY BROTHER!

That was just the start of him becoming uncle Fancy .. he's had the coolest stuff first, since way back when.
