We had the Comet too here in the US, they just weren't as prolific. Kind of the difference between a Marquis and a Crown Vic. The Mercury was supposed to be a bit more refined.

Here is my current favorite. A 1983 Fiat Pininfarina Spider. It was in top shape but I restored it all to like new condition. Rebuilt engine and transmission, new suspension and exhaust etc. The photo below was at the All Italian Car show, here in my area.

Just ROn had a 1976 Chevy Malibu painted lime green when we met. That's the reason I said yes when he asked me out - how could I turn down a red haired man wearing a plaid flannel shirt driving a lime green car?

This was a very wise decision on your part. Men with red Ferraris can never be fully trusted (at least in a woman's heart.) BTW - thank you for bringing up this great thread - To further add to JWN auto history: My first car was a Chevrolet Corvair - a brand new 1967 Corvair Monza 4-speed. It was the closest thing to a Porsche at the time, and I could not afford a Porsche for a couple of years more. I hate Ralph Nader to this day.

My first car was a 1981 Chevy Citation. It was an awful piece of crap. My next car was an 88 Toyota pickup - ran great until it met an untimely death at the rearend of a Buick. In all, Just Ron and I have owned only nine cars in the combined 52 years we've been driving. We keep cars until they die - we still have a 93 Ford F350 crew cab (although we don't drive it much)
