Celebrating 50 years of ownership in Dec

[deathsled]

Might be fun to start a list of who's in the 50 year club, 40 year club, 30 year club.

Jim and Jan Shield bought their 65 new. Their milestone was 70 years of marriage a couple months ago.

I've seen that car in some magazine(s) somewhere.  I think it was featured in a book "How to Buy a Shelby."

Now that's impressive 70 years of marriage and a 65 Shelby

Jim and Jan are lovely people too.  Great combination all around.

   I have had the pleasure of working with Jim on 5S272 for 34 years. I actually "claimed" 272 when it was in the showroom ( unsold) at McCoy Ford here in Anaheim. I was just a kid but rode my bicycle downtown every week to check it out because "I" was going to buy it. You can imagine how devastated I was when I found out a lady had bought it before I could. Fast forward to 1987 when sitting around talking and Jim says "well Jan bought ours in Anaheim" and I blurt out "so you're the lady that traded a Porsche in for my car". They couldn't believe all the details I knew . Two of the nicest people I know.
   My current Hertz car has been in my possession sine '74 , another $1,000 car. I'm going to keep it for at least another eleven.

I got mine on April 4, 1971. 11am. I can still remember when it pulled up.

It really did change my life considerably and headed me down a different road with an amazing group of new people that I met that I never would have otherwise.

If it wasn't about a mile a way I might have bought the 427 Cobra from Carter up in Millbrook.

Fate would not have it as it were.

'68 GT350 Hertz, NY, NY car. Somewhat of a non-conformist kinda' like it's current owner is.

Carly Simon knew me as "Corvair Doug". Vanessa Williams was only 14 so I couldn't even take here for a ride without a chaparone.

I positively "know" that Momma "C" would ask me where the Corvair was? She'd remember. Geeze. Would the Shelby have changed that?
