Have NOT been to London, Ontario since the last week of May 1981 (41 years ago) during a school bus ride heading to Toronto in 8th grade & I was 16 years old!!

Glad to see an Edsel there, but...nobody rolled in with a Meteor, Acadian, Monarch, Fargo, Beaumont, or Mercury pickup truck?

There was a Fargo.

Nice...with a '65 Meteor Montcalm droptop parked next to it!

Somehow, there seems to be more dignity in a rusted old truck than in one that's been repainted and dressed up with chrome parts

A truck that looks like that Fargo just makes you wonder about all the fun times and adventures that were had by the people who used it so much.

The folded-under front licence plate is a nice touch. Did someone do that while road hunting out in the bush? Hmm...

Maybe plowing snow.

So, TT, what kind of cars did you have back in the day?

I bet you once owned a Pontiac Laurentian...

Never. My dad was die hard MoPar. It was like a religion with him. He might not have allowed a GM vehicle in his driveway. He'd be turning over in his grave if he knew the crap I'm driving today.

I should have figured you were from a MoPar family, having mentioned Fargo trucks more than once on here...

With my Dad, the Big Three are Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury. I once owned an '11 Chevy Cruze Eco, and it was the most trouble-prone new car I've owned. Dad, who was always excited to take a spin in any new Ford I bought, refused to drive it. He never ribbed me about buying a Chevy, but I know that deep down inside, he was feeling pretty smug when I traded it in a few days after the warranty ran out.
