[QUOTE="mercurycrest, post: 11231, member: 64"] Hey, I'm an "FDR baby" and my aunt's huband's brother.... I always heard him referd to as "Uncle Harry" was a very rich man who formed HAL Oil Company in Utah... He did well until he crossed swords with Standard Oil. He was killed in a traffic accident in 1950. Anyway, long story short.. Uncle Harry had Cords and when I was about 12, his Daughter, Joy Larsen, gave me a test drive in her inherited 1937 Cord (yeah, I got to drive it.. a 12 year old could get a license to drive farm equiptment in Utah, so I was pretty adept at what to do)! So here I am over 50 years later, times are tough and thinking... Hmmm, Would I sell the Vinny or the Cord? NO CONTEST!! Goodby, Vinny! Hell, I'm looking at 2005 Bentleys and trying to figure which of my Vincents to unload to buy one, but my petrified brain is saying:" How do you plan on keeping it on the road at 190+ miles per hour you senile old fart... Keep your slow Lincoln stupid!!" I hope he sells his Vincent for $200,000, that means that Bentley is even cheaper to me.. and to hell with my brain!:D [/QUOTE]
