I'd have had a lot more than you. I might have had a visit by the tooth fairy by then. I was 6.
Cool to look at though.

It's always fun to look at old pictures and drool over all the old vehicles in them. Kinda sad to realize that most of them are no longer in existence.
In 1966 a used car lot in Nashville had a first year of production AC Cobra- - - - -priced at $6K. Of course, as a starving college kid, I couldn't afford it. A brand new Pontiac GTO cost considerably less than that. That car would be worth a million or more today! Jerry
