OT-Unusual Coincidence

[JerseyHarold]

I saw a '65 Dodge Coronet 440 sedan like my parents used to have in a Wal-Mart parking lot yesterday and was walking around it with my son when I remembered something that I thought was pretty amazing....

We picked-up our car from the dealer at 3:30 PM on Saturday, March 27, 1965...and 45 years later to the minute I was looking at another one!

PS: '65 Coronets are at the top of my 'gonna get one some day' list, much to the annoyance of my wife!

It's in the cards and gonna happen. Hope you don't have to wait another 45 years though.

Here's one for you. I have the 47 at Gas Station in Lockport Mb, go to pay for the gas, A woman, is the cashier, a little younger than me.

She looks at my credit card, we have the same last name, (not a common name at all), her mother and my mother had same first name (Jean), her father was an only Child, not related to my Father, her father's name was Alex, same name as my mother's 2nd Husband.

Very strange encounter...........

Maybe there really is a parallel universe! Do you ever do something and kind of stop and think to yourself, "I have done this before" even though you know you haven't?

My first car was a red 65 coronet 440 station wagon. My dad bought it new in and gave it to me in 1970. I put chrome reverse wheels on it, a glass pack on the 318 single exhaust and jacked up the back end. One night after a light to light race the oil pressure went to zero and the engine seized. I put in another 318 and drove it another year. I still have two of it's hubcaps.

I still wish I had that wagon. The 65 coronets will always be one of my favorites. JohnS

I worked for the local dodge Dealer during high school. They provided three cars for the Diver's Ed program. White Coronet 440 (thats the model number not the engine) 4 doors

2 automatic /6 cars and one 3 speed 318 for teaching how to drive standard. They had about 3000 miles on them and were beig sold used as the school district had registered them. The auto cars sold in no time while the standard sat there. My father got to be in the market for a car, so I told him about the Dodge. He was hesitant to buy it because he had never had a 8 and was concerned about mileage. But he drove it, liked it, and with my employee discount, he couldn't pass it up. He said it was oe of the best cars he ever had, ad was pleasently suprised when it got 20 to 22 miles to the gallon.

Thing was quite a sleeper, and suprised a lot of Hot cars at the stop light drags. What with it 4 doors and dog dish hubcaps.

Looked like this one but with out the after market rims.

Fred,

Identical twins sharing two of the same mothers?

(With apologies to Douglas Adams, I know different genders cannot be identical twins but I'm not trying to be too serious here.)

Nah, telephoned my Dad, this woman even had the same doctor as my mother back in the 50s. One time my parents went to this docotr, and the receptionist asked my Mother if she were going to pay her bill, they had the wrong Jean, was the other one that owed money, not my Mom.......
