It may not be old by classic car standards or valuable like a Auburn or Cord but my latest sighting has a lot going for it. A 1963 Ford Falcon 2 dr. sedan with a 6 cylinder followed by an automatic is hardly an earth shaker but I like it because it was the first car I actually owned. This particular example red with a matching blah and sun faded worn interior. The Falcon does not run but there is enough room under the hood for a mechanic party.
Running or not it's a good car with no visible rust and the potential to return me for a blast from the past. My version of this was Corinthian white with a brownish clothlike interior. I never won any speed contests with the GT 170 as it was called but it got me there and brought me back. It was the car my wife and I started our life together with and we enjoyed many trips in it.
When my ship comes in or I win the lottery possibly I will buy this trusty vision from the past and once again terrorize the roads. Remember Old Cars are everywhere if only in your mind.
