Today I saw this YouTube video of a 1965 Ford Fairlane, obviously at an antique auto show. The first new car I ever bought was a dark green 1965 Ford Fairlane. I truly loved that car - it was my baby.
I moved to Florida in 1966 where the tropical sun did a job on the exterior. I had to have it repainted in 1967. It did not have air conditioning, and parked all the time in the driveway, the vinyl seats would feel like red hot coals when I got in the car in the daytime, and it would be unbearable to drive without the windows wide open.
Still, I felt quite sad when I traded it in on a new air conditioned 1968 Chevy Impala. It was almost like abandoning my first born.
