              My first car after I got out of high school was a 1959 Plymouth Sports Fury convertible. I wonder where I got that idea!

                  Although not in the same "handsome leading man" category....I liked "Highway Patrol" with Broderick Crawford, simply because Broderick Crawford could often be found sitting in our house, when I was a kid.
                  He was a school chum of my Mom, (who called him "Billy") and was a frequent guest.
