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? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My dad worked for a guy once in the early 50's who was buying a fleet of pickups....he and the other VP tried to talk him into Fords, but he bought the Studs because they were cheaper....he told me that, with a load, the Stud could smell a hill a half a mile away, and start slowing down...other than that, I always liked the looks of those old trucks....there used to be one running around town painted red and white....looked good....
Studebaker, great trucks.
ReplyDeleteHad one of those. It was about that color after we mixed all the paint remnants my cousin John had.

ReplyDeleteLocal company (neighbour works there) does land-office business making those for big trucks.
