ri702bill 11,146 #2 Posted 1 hour ago When I met my wife in 1975, she was driving a 1973 Dodge Coronet 4 door that was an ex detective's car. My FIL got it at auction; it had 88K one driver miles on it and it had had only 1-1/2 years of service. We kept it until 1985. My kids cried when we sold it to buy the Buick. Oh, but then it was OK because they realized the Buick had AC and a nice velour interior!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
