‘73 Gremlin?!?
Oh bwhaha! My Dad was looking at Gremlins when they first came out, my Mom took one look at them and just slowly shook her head “NO”. So we stayed loyal to Ford Motor Company.
Bought a Pinto.
(don’t laugh dammit! lol)
MEANWHILE here in Greenbrier County West Virginia, it’s snowing like mad, 20 degrees outside, forecast is for up to 2 ft of accumulation but clear skies tomorrow.
No worries.
That little car was indestructible.
Trust me, I tried.
From muddy river bottoms to raging snow and ice storms, it just kept going.
With 232K on the odo, *after* it stopped working, many months before, my stupid ex traded it in on a VW Rabbit and they hauled the Gremlin to Eddie’s Salvage in WV.
Two weeks later, my mother saw it tearing down I81 S in WV, a teenage by at the wheel.
For all I know, it’s still out there, somewhere.
Many years later, I had an AMC Eagle, which was basically a 4WD Gremlin.
Also invincible.
:)
A Pinto?
I’m going to laugh.
My dad bought one.
And it was the ONLY Ford we ever owned.
WORST. CAR. EVER.
