I rode in the car many, many times as a child, drove it and rode in it as a t=
eenager and in my 20's.

I still have it.   that's 32 years.  53 years in the family.  btw the car is=
 pretty original although somewhat tired looking, and has 37,757 original mi=
les on it.  its on my website:  http://www.ranteer.com/davescars/buick/

and my neighbor has the 74 TR6 he bought new.  it sat for 28 years; we are i=
n the process of bringing it back to life.
