Two kinds of stars in her eyes!  Hehe My first car that I could drive was a Studebaker convertible that one could fold the front seat backs level with the rear seat. At night that was stars in her eyes two ways, as well. Big Grin
A Lark?

The Perseids have a pretty broad peak to the shower. You should have a few days to try on.

A Lark VIII. I traded it in on a '64 Malibu SS, since I worked at the local Chevy dealer. It was already tough to get parts for the Studebaker (made in '61), in '70, since Studebaker quit making vehicles in (I think) '66. I see people driving them now, and just have to wonder what they are using for parts.

I almost bought an Avanti a couple years ago...

One of my favorites ever....

But yeah - where the hell are you gonna find parts?


That brought me to my senses...

I had a '62 Rambler with the same design! Wasn't allowed in the local drive-ins if I had a girl with me. So my brother rode with me and his girl rode with mine. Hmph

Probably easier to do that than to convince your girl to ride in the trunk.

You're supposed to wear a ring on your wedding ring finger so that they know you're legit. That doesn't help if you live in a small town and the cashier knows you and the current gal.  Tut Tut
