A 1973 Cadillac Coupe Deville photo from the summer of 1980

After noticing a ThrowBack Thursday #TBT post in the “Year(s) Ago On This Date” blog column and recently stumbling across a old automotive photo that I didn’t remember of me with the 1973 Cadillac Coupe Deville … the one that was hit by a train, well pushed off the tracks by a slow moving train.
This was the vehicle I purchased after selling my 1974 Capri in the summer of 1980 and before my 1977 Honda Civic in 1981. It was also the car my college roommates and I used when living in an Ada, Ohio apartment on Turner Avenue to haul a wooden coffin to a Halloween party … and the autumn when I met and dated Brenda. I sold this fuel hungry beast in the spring of 1981, bought the much smaller and economical Honda Civic (a rebuildable). At that same time, I needed somthing to drive, so I also bought a 1967 Camaro … that I sold in a few months to my brother in order to buy an engagement ring for Brenda — see last paragraph of this post.
The older I get, the more I enjoy those old photos that trigger memories!
