Dad's upcoming new car

[skreidle]

Dad says:

One of the times I was in Radford during the last few years, I saw a 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline in the back lot of a car dealer friend of Harry's [his brother-in-law, my uncle]. The guy was asking $[quite a bit], so I passed, even though the car would have been the ultimate trip down automotive memory lane for me, because that was the make & model of the first car I owned back in high school. A little time has passed, and the guy is now asking $[half the previous price]. I'll send him a check in tomorrow's mail, he'll send me the title, I'll take ownership & get tags from DMV here, and I'll be going to Radford to get the car in early March.

The 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline is quite a nice old car, and it's just damn cool that he's getting his first car again. :D

oh, good lord.

is it another Project Car^TM? if so, is he getting rid of the mustang? if not, did mom actually approve it?

I have no idea, but given how much the asking price was before, and how much it is now, I'm thinking a) it's in pretty good shape, b) mom approves or at least consents, and c) no idea about the Mustang. :)
