All those dreams and adventures


Did you ever look at an automobile and wonder how its first day of sale played out?  Was it a father with his daughter picking out her graduation gift or a young man with his first big bonus check going to the next level? How about a husband and wife looking for their first station wagon after finding out they’re expecting?

What happened to those cars? What became of someone’s baby, someone’s hot rod?  All those memories of hot summer nights cruising down the boulevard looking for girls, or running away from it all with a girl friend, that first journey off to college, packing the kids in the car for a drive-in or ballgame, and road trips during the holidays.  All those dreams and adventures some good, some bad, still in our hearts.

For most of us, those dreams and adventures are etched in our minds but where the cars are today, we couldn’t say, but when asked, the memories are as strong as though it was yesterday.
