We've been here before on the list.  When I was a new 2nd Lieutenant at Pope AFB in
1970 there was one in perfect condition on the used car lot at Lafayette Ford, with
a sticker that said something like $3500 in the windshield.  Lafayette Ford sponsord
Fred Lorenzen and his yellow Galaxie in the '60s.

If I'd only known....I knew what it was, but I didn't know it'd become a collector.

Beautiful cars, Talladegas...
