Later, my dad said, the importer brought in cars by batches. It happened that time, they brought the VW. They are called tortoise cars, not very glamorous.<br /><br />Ginger, in you search for old car, please keep an eye on Fiat 1100. That was my Dad's first car, and we were so happy to have one in the 1960s.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-34131777760318320522010-08-12T06:14:26.014-04:002010-08-12T06:14:26.014-04:00Me too B&B.

I remember driving it for several months with a coathanger connecting the clutch peddle with the clutch. Now you need a computer programmer to repair cars.<br />Great shoot of a true memorial.
