Ron Wandover

'63 rag-top, robin's-egg blue. A few rust spots and primer -- good interior. Hounds tooth check bucket seat & cut pile carpets. AM radio & swing away mirrors Chrome rocker panels & good service records. Has been from Topeka to Tucson, Tacoma to Twitty City. Sips gas & won't chug on a hill. Clear trannie fluid & recent shocks. The speedometer starts at 70 & the differential purrs. I found what seemed like love in this falcon. Made a daughter in the back seat. Took my little brother to the AFEES station to a war he's yet returned from. Sold Fuller brushes in Buffalo & got holed-up in Baton Rouge for drivin' blind. Did time in the mills outside of Culver City until I packed up what was left of my marriage & headed for Tempe. The oil's been changed every three grand & the radiator was replaced when the heater core blew anti-freeze onto my neighbor's drive & his dog lapped-up half a quart before he crawled under the porch & got stiff... New battery & clutch cable, drive lines & bearings. Brake shoes are good & the head was rebuilt at 202k. Went to my mother's funeral in '82 -- drunk as hell for weeks after my second wife left -- that's when I gave up on women & when they gave up on me... Got a few miles of tread left on the whitewalls & the clock in the dash is still tickin'. Had to sleep in her a few days when the unemployment ran out, but overall, I don't have any complaints. She's a road-worthy car -- a car with a future. She rips through the air like a talon, quite, like you'd think time had stopped (but this doesn't happen). She'll take you where you need to go though, no questions asked. Has plenty get-up left & won't talk back. Better'n most, but not what I'd call flashy. Just needs some TLC. Won't shudder in a storm & has made it shore-to-shore without a ping. An original classic from Corpus Christi -- ready for you should your mate get carried away.
