Here's that Great Little Story:
I stopped to talk to the owner of the T-Bird. Very, very nice lady. So, when her son was turning 15, a very important b'day in his culture, he was offered an extravagant party sort of like a young girls quinceanera or his parents would get him a car.
A friend had the 'bird for sale and so he chose the car ! It only needed a little work to get it in the shape it is today as it was well taken care of.
I met the son. He is now 36 ! His Mom and he are the registered owners. Mom told me that if anything should happen to her son she doesn't want her dil to be able to sell the T-Bird.
It would come back to Family.
