His name was Jack.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

I used to stop at the bridge and fill my water jugs from the Little Wolf river every workday.    I had to or the Buick was going to be dry and very hot halfway home.

The car was worth 50 bucks, a radiator and water pump about 300.  In the following spring it got sold as parts netting me about 400 bucks.  Great car, it paid for the next 3 I bought.

1974 1/2 Buick Limited.  Electra 225 body with LesSabre front clip.  All the Caddy options made that year.  Nothing worked.

That was a huge landyacht design. The fender skirts alone weighed a ton -- LOL

Buddy of mine had a Wildcat. Beautiful ride, and very similar to the Limited

Fond memories of 70's land yachts.  Worked in a used car lot and 66 station then and the boss sold a lot of then.  Dad had a 69 and then 72 Caddies also.  Love them big cars

My family was the same Phil. My mom was a big Chrysler New Yorker fan - push button transmission and a ride like a cloud of cotton. She drove several, and it was her favorite ride. Dad was a Chevy guy, but indulged mom’s love of MOPAR. -lol

Buddy's mom had a 69 new Yorker with a 440.  Used to ride around in that a fair amount

All those cross arms on those telephone poles look like a third world country.
