A girlfriend had an Orange Vega in college, for her first car.....with a squealing throw-out bearing.

She sold that and then drove a Ford Granada.

I got roped into changing the water pump in that Granada, when I came up for a visit......middle of the winter.....Twin Cities.

She proposed a couple years later.....about 37 years ago.

Now, wrenching flat sucks.

No one had an English Ford Cortina either?

Have seen a Peugot listed, and a Studebaker, but no Nash Ramblers, Desotos, Edsels, and other "oddities"?
