I think Dad's Bomber Jacket had a few holes in it, never saw him wear it though. Camel hair coat yes, bomber jacket, no.

Tell a little story...
I've always had a fondness for this 1973 Buick Riviera, and even in its day, thought it was something special. Never imagined it would achieve the cult status it enjoys with many today. When they were new, in some neighborhoods, they were a common sight. A friend of my mother (Pat and Carter Best of Bayside), owned a nearly identical car. In fact, one evening at a neighborhood country club, my father spent twenty minutes trying to open the door, until he realized, it wasn't our car.

First Car!
1968 Thunderbird
For car buffs- Memorable car. Prior to my ownership, was rarely driven, by  literally, a little old (rich) lady. Powerful, mine was equipped with big engine option.  "429 ThunderJet V-8 Engine (360 Horsepower) (Became optional on January 1, 1968) ($53.18) New option" as per Hemmings Motor Club.

Skipping 20 or so years, and stepping back ten, I enjoyed driving this Cadillac.

Seville SLS

Actually...
The Seville is long gone. I now have this 89 Sedan Deville. (Update three years past, the Deville is history too.) Nice, ride, keeps up with traffic alright. Technically fairly simple for a Cadillac. Good car for while I'm a mostly,  full time MBA student. Would rather have a new one though.

Update-Update: Actually I have, or had, this nice BMW 740il. for which I had made plans to restore to original completely.  Now, following damage and later vandalism near University of Wisconsin Madison campus (none of which I was compensated for BTW) further progress is debatable. My opinion of Madison , and UW was low to begin with, and can't really get any lower.....
