The cars we drove back then.....

[Adam Helmer]

Guys,

Thanks for the nostalgic memories.

When I got to my permanent USAF post of duty in Denver in 1963, I quickly found a girlfriend who also had a car. WHAT a car! Dear Bev had a 1959 Edsel convertable that we gleefully drove all over the Eastern Slope of the Rockies. I wish I had a picture of Bev and the car, but I have only the memories. I wish I could go back to 1963 and begin all over. As the PA Dutch say, "Too soon old and too late smart." I was 19 years old and not too smart, but damn it was fun.....

I had just made A2C (Corporal E-3) and had enough cash on payday to drive Bev up to Cheyenne for Frontier Days in 1963 and 1964. To bad time stands still for no man.
