I only wish you could buy cars off the back of dealership lots like we used to in the old days. Remember some of the stuff you could buy for 50-100 bucks back then -WOW! I remember going into a Ford dealership in 1968 and having a salesman price out a brand new '68 mustang fastback 428 cobra jet loaded with oil cooler and all-$4200.00 retail!!!!.No way I could have bought one but it was fun.Gosh, we grew up in such a great time we just didn't realize it back then.

We apparently grew up in the same area. I grew up in the Bath-Richfield area, lived in Akron and Stow. Moved down here in 1988 and live between Pleasant City and Cumberland.
