This was my second car ever. I was all of 17 or 18. It was a boat and we could get so many people in it to go out on Saturday nights. It was so different from most cars, push button transmission, rectangular steering wheel, dash mounted rear view mirror and of course the swivel seats in front. Wound up having to sell it after I was drafted but some really great memories with friends and my girlfriend (now my wife).
