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.

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



Was just talking to a friend the other day. It sure would be nice to get a lift installed in the shop to check things underneath!

And I think I recall that orange color. Wasn't very appealing to my sensibilities. But it seems to have captured you a good one. Congrats.
