LOL! Yes, it is amazing when you drive through the countryside and 
stop at a place with a few cars. When you tell the folks what you are 
looking for, #1 they usually don't have it, but #2, they know 
of 'some guy down the road that goes by "Bubba" that used to have it' 
and may still have it, or can put you onto someone that has it. Thus 
the 1/2 day of driving around 3 counties in rural Alabama. I did meet 
and see some colorful characters on my trek, learned some new ways 
home, and found many other cool old cars that I wish I had the money, 
space, and time to restore (including an old Barracuda - the model 
that looks alot like the Marlin with the bubble glass in the back; it 
even had the original fish ornament in the center of the grill). -Lu-
