I still catch flak about my '60 4-door that my daughter, when she was 
5, decided to refer to as:


"The rusty car without very many good smells".



Now, a month ago, when she and I stopped at a 7-11 on the way to 
taking her to school (she missed the bus) someone in the store looked 
out the window and said "Oh my, look at that old car out 
there!"    "Holy cow, I've seen better stuff in junkyards."    She 
stepped up and defended the '60...   "Hey, everything on it works and 
it runs just fine."

...she surprised me, actually.

Maybe it's because I let her drive it (once) this Fall.  ;)   Come to 
think of it, she's the only one other than myself to get behind the 
wheel of the '60 since my brother drove it to one of the October Fall 
Corvair Affairs in NC that used to be held at Modern Chevy in 
Winston-Salem... think it was about 23 years ago.
