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.

That number reminds me of my college class's motto. Before I joined the US Marine Corps after my college freshman year, my original college graduation would have been 1969.

The 375 had beautifully sculpted lines, the engine was awesome, and it was a serious competitor when driven by Shelby, Gurney, and Miles.

The classic era of factory teams creating stunning vehicles. What a ride, literally and figuratively.
