<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I am not much of a car enthusiast but this car got my attention.<\/div>\n
All I could see from the passenger seat where we got gas at $1.32.9 cents<\/div>\n
a litre was the back tail light.  Unusual. Jutted out and had a fin.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cMarjorie look at that car up on the house.  Odd!\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a 1957 model.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201c\u201dHow would you know that?\u201d\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cSays so on the licence.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOh!\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cMan pumping gas says its a 1957 Thunderbird.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cPink\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThose were the years\u2026the 1950\u2019s\u2026when cars were not bland\u2026turquoise and white\u2026or pink like this.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOur old 53 Meteor was Double Brown\u2026others were bright red and white.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cSame colours as popsicles.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cAsk if I can go into the workshop.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cHe says you can.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
NOTE   A lot more could be said about 1957.  I think my Uncle Frank Freeman still had<\/div>\n
a team of horses for instance.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cWasn\u2019t there a cosmetic company that gave away pink cars to its best salespeople.?  Mary Kay, I believe.”<\/div>\n
