Happy 40th to my car on Wednesday, June 11
My vette turns 40 on Wednesday, and I have been catching the "on this day in 1968" stuff on the radio . Bobby Kennedy was shot the week before; Rolling Stones released Jumpin' Jack Flash. Does anyone have any more to add? I was only 3, and all I cared about was my toys in the backyard. Don't remember much of 1968.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARLIN'!!!

Hi Dave,
Happy Birthday to your car!!!!
You asked about 68. The summer of 68 will always be remembered for the riots in Detroit and Baltimore. Not a good time for America. Soldiers on the streets. Whole blocks burned.
Regards,
Alan
