'55(?) Plymouth

A beat-up Plymouth, probably 1955, and I bought it in '60 for about $150. A fabulous amount for a just-arrived graduate student from India. But, we had a great time exploring the area from Philadelphia to upstate New York, Niagara Falls in winter snow, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Washington, and every roadside attraction we could afford to see. Proudly, we festooned it with all the banners we collected from everywhere. It took us lots of places and left us with great memories of America. It gave us no problems and served us very well. It was our first love.
