Small world alert!!!!!!!!!! 1st car( 5 of us chipped in to come up with
the $75) experience was the Lloyd (1957 I think) also 4 on the Tree. Two
cylinder/ ohc/ front wheel drive. Looked like a cracker box. Imagine
looking back and reflecting on the fact that if one of us would have
kept it. We probably would have the neighborhoods oldest and smallest
Mini- Van.
Thanks for the trip back in time.
