  1. You might just as well ask, “Remember America?”
    Remember when America was young and free?–when car-makers made cars, when bureaucrats ran only pesky, ultimately meaningless, little domains. Dreary dustbins of petty regimentation.
    These same bureaucrats now bring their particular “expertise” to the production of automobiles.
    God help us!

  2. I had a `47 Kaiser. Loved that thing. One of the best cars I ever owned. Roomy and dependable.
