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 had a Plymouth around that year. A Savoy, not as fancy as the Fury, but he bought it as a drive to work car, to keep his Chrysler 300 nice. It was my favorite date car (those wide bench seats), and the rear view mirror was mounted on top of the dash, not hanging down from the windshield header. So when my GF was sitting next to me, I could watch her pretty blue eyes.
I remember those! What year? I'd guess around '60 with fins as they are.
ReplyDeleteClose, only one year off, it's a '59. In '60 the fins were longer and the taillights were moved from the bumper to the fin.
