Hey, you're a good writer. Your stuff is readable and interesting. If I had a magazine I'd be looking for a column from you.
The Valiant takes me back.....my grandfather sold Plymouths and DeSotos. His first new car after a couple of Plymouth fin cars was a white Valiant that looked exactly like yours did before modification. He'd always tell us to watch for him winking as he drove away, he'd use the turn signal for the wink.
