And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Next door neighbor had one back when I was about 8. They had the convertible. I thought they were the richest people. Turns out the wife worked at the Howard Johnson's Restaurant on the NJTP as a waitress. Found out that when i got hired to work the takeout counter there when I was 16.

ReplyDeleteLooks like it's a late '40s Chrysler Town and Country. A quick image search shows that they had convertible and wagon models too. WOW!
Deleteneeds to be towing a 40' boat tail Chriscraft, or an airstream.

Looks great in the crate.
