During the summer of 1958 when I was 16 years old, I worked for a shop near my home that serviced only foreign cars like MG's, Jaguars, Volkswagons and the like. One of my tasks was going for parts which were not available locally. The dealer I went to most of the time was 30 miles away. I had a 1938 Buick Special 4 door sedan and spent many hours on the highway. Often times parts like engine blocks, gears and body parts had to be shipped here from overseas to the dealer. Those owners loved their cars and sometimes waited for weeks for the cars to be repaired. A great summer for sure.
