The Pontiac
(Waits)
Well let's see, we had the eh, we had the Fairlane. Then the u-joints went out on that and the bushings and then your mother wanted to trade it in on the Tornado, so we got the Tornado. God, I hated the color of that son of a bitch. And the dog destroyed the upholstery on the Ford. Boy, that was long before you were born. We called it the Yellowbird, two-door, three on the tree. Tight little mother. Threw a rod, sold it to Jacobs for a hundred dollar.
Now the Special eh, four-holer, you've never seen body panels lining up like that. Overhead cam, dual exhaust. You know I had, let's see I had, four Buicks, loved them all.
Now your Uncle Emmet, well he drives a Thunderbird, it used to belong to your Aunt Evelyn. Now, she ruined it, drove it to Indiana with no gear oil.

I swear it had the power to repair itself.
I love the old, Dan Steele used to give 'em to me at a discount. Showroom models and that. And then there was the Pontiac and... God, I loved that Pontiac. Well, it was kind of an ox-blood. It just kinda handled so beautifully. Yeah, I miss that car. Well, it was a long time ago, a long time ago.
