Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 23, 2012

Only makes you sad to think you still don’t have them anymore. Wish I still had my ’63 Lincoln convertible…

auto-biography…..clever turn of phrase, cool beans!

that’s it…it’s OFFICIAL….I’M a plugger!

I don’t keep pictures of my cars, but I collect and save stranger things!

Sadly, I don’t have any pics of my first car – a 65 Mustang!

Back when cars were photogenic.

I love the pics of our old 1959 Chevy. Oooooo…fins!

I thought Pluggers made their cars last practically forever (or at least 20+ years after they were in style). :-s

Paraphrasing Rumsfeld: As you know, you go to war with the car you have, not the car you might want or wish to have at a later time.

We owned one of those. Made the mistake of trying to “wax” it. Had an epoxy finish! What a mess. I rubbed and rubbed and Dad finally told me I was wasting my time…………

I have pictures of every car I ever owned also….starting with my first one — a 1950 Chevrolet……

Karl Diestelkamp, Is my grandpa! So proud!

He bought the 1960 Chrysler Imperial in 1979…
