It must have been amazing to have been able to get those machines for a few hundred dollars.

In 1971 I was driving through South Houston and just happened to notice a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk sitting in one of those 'Nothing Down' used car lots. It was that fantastic metallic Apache Red color with Arctic White fins.

I pulled a U-Turn and drove back. The old beauty was in really good shape and was only $275. I did not have my checkbook with me and less than $20 cash on me, so I told the dealer I would drive home, get my checkbook and be right back to buy the car with at his $275 price.

And as you would know it, when I got back to the lot, the car had been sold--

I shall regret not getting that Golden Hawk... until my dying day.

Well, that and not nailing Joey Heatherton when I had a better than average chance... but that is another story for another time--
