My first car was really an old used ’65 flat front Ford Econoline, equiped with retread tires, shag carpeting on the floor, paneling on the walls inside, a sun decal on the side, a keep on truckin’ liscense plate, and eventually painted (ironically enough) competition yellow. I convinced my father I needed the van for my last semester of college to drive to my student teaching gig, but in reality, it was a rolling party vehicle. Those were the days…
