Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for August 08, 2013

All ‘56 ’Vettes were convertibles. The coupe didn’t debut until ’63.

My dad would have traded me for any car that ran in 1945 !

I believe I was the reason my Dad had an American Rambler. Although I seem to remember a big old Mercury when I was very little.

And all he got was the bird

My parents tried to return me before my first birthday but they had misplaced the receipt.

For my 10th B-day he bought a Corvair

Omigod, I’m older than Shoe!

how could he not?

There’s supposed to be a group in this area called the “Century Club.” They don’t believe in going under 100mph. Rumor has it that the Police Chief is a member. =)

My brother was an only child.

His Dad wanted a Vet..How did He end up with

me and my red corvette

me and my red corvette

I had a patient that owned a Chevy dealership. His father was the original founder. They were the first Virginia dealership to get a Corvette. The son (my patient) said,“Dad let’s put the Corvette in storage. It will be a classic.” His dad said,“Son, there is no way we are going to store a $3500 car.”

What is the big deal with some guys and old cars? They’re just hunks of metal.
