It was 'round '54 or '55 and my dad was workin' for Ford Motor Company as a factory rep and had access to lots of Ford related automobiles... The next door neigbors, the Bookers, (Nan Booker was James Arness's siter also *true* were lookin' for a large car for Ms. Booker to carry my mom and their friends and all the kids in when...

...Harry Truman's 1946 Lincoln Limo became available thru my dad and the Bookers bought it... So...

Now back to the regularially scheduled snipin' about the bomb... BTW, I think it was stupid and evil to drop the sumabich but afetr the campaign in the South Pacific I'm sure that lots of folks were overjoyed...
