A Generous Gift, Well Kept

Californian Norm Grib's Dad was maybe one of the most generous Dads ever. When Norm turned 17, his father bought him a new car. But not just any new car. It was a jet black 1963 Ford Galaxie 500. Says Norm:
Frankly, I don't know what he was thinking when he let me get the 390 Police Special with the four-barrel carburetor and four-on-the-floor transmission.

I definitely had the coolest car in my high school, and it had all the chrome a '60s guy could want.
Norm is retired now, but he still has the car. He reminisces here.
