I got a speeding ticket!

Another good addition is an old man hat or a golfer hat. My buddy called them "Oh Chit hats". You spot one of them and you know its an old geezer and you think "Oh Chit whats he gonna do now".

The Mr. McGoo hat

base model 1966 Ford Fairlane four door sedan (ex-city gas dept. vehicle).

I drove Ford Falcons before they were Ford Mustangs. 1960,61,62 and they were very good comfortable transportation. I had a 1965 Mercury Monarch 4 door ex salesman car that was awesome. Ah the good memories.

Most of the time, I'm driving an old Mercury Grand Marquis or Ford Crown Victoria. Both well-known geezer cars. Very low profile.

... I'd say something like, "John, what's the matter with these people?" He'd say, "They don't like to drive behind Geezer cars." And it's the truth, there is profiling of drivers by other drivers. They will risk getting in an accident to get ahead of you. It's not necessarily a matter of how far ahead, just anywhere ahead. They also may not care how fast they are going, so long as it's fast-ER. Even if it's from one red light to the next.

I used to have a old Crown Vic that was my downtown car. I forget the year but it still had the chrome bumpers. The paint was badly oxidized but the body was straight and the car was mechanically solid. On first glance it looked like crap but it drove and rode great. People would not cut me off in that car and it was never broken into. Now that you mention it I don't think I ever got pulled over in that car either.

I'd love to have another Vic. Maybe if I have room at the next house.

The Polaras and Furys were beasts. I guess I'd like to have one of them too. Man I'm going to need a big garage.

When I bought a Corvette I bought a dark grey one. Virtually impossible to see at night Doesnt stand out during the day. I know how I drive.

I'm not a Chrysler guy, especially not the contemporary stuff. But one Mopar I've sometimes admired is the 1968 Dodge Coronet. Doesn't have to be a hot rod, the 4 door sedan would be fine. With the 318 engine and Torque Flite trans.

My Dad had one of those. That 318 pulled like a 350 and ran like a top.
