If ever there was an unexpected
treasure hidden behind a plain exterior, this is it! Anyone who has
lived in Richardson, Texas as long as I have will remember the building
on Campbell and Nantucket as the original Sterlings catalog store. After
that, it was offices. Recessed off Campbell, is a nondescript building,
except for the fact that there are now huge letters on the front that
say Classic Cars, Banquet Rooms and NTX.
To dry your car, you can
use a chamois cloth or a towel but make sure that it is clean when you
use it. Or else, you would only be marring the cleaning job that you
just finished.

Considering cost of
living in her area in the seventies, her income was suitable. A new home
could be purchased for $25,000. A postage stamp rose from $0.06 in 1970
to $0.15 in 1979. I asked my mother if she could recall some prices of
the decade. She remembered bread being $0.29, gas $0.74 a gallon, candy
bars $0.05, soft drinks $0.10-0.15 a bottle in the early seventies and
in the late seventies prices started to rise. She remembered cigarettes
costing $1.00 a pack, cracker $0.29, milk $1.00 and most canned goods
$0.10. The dark
figure standing, staring by the street, is noticed by the two men in the
front seat of the truck, they stare but keep going, --trees blowing to
his right and left, the waves of the Great Lake of Superior, makes a
humming sound, and everything else, as if you were in the middle of a
hurricane, the stranger stands erect yet, never moving. He sees the eyes
of the passenger in the Ford-truck, a small figure, a man of about
forty, the driver calls him Skip, and he hears that. The taller man at
the wheel, his arms are solid, and frozen to the wheel, is called Amery,
for some reason you know he knows that.
My mother and father enjoyed much of their leisure time with
drive in movies, watching TV shows such as MASH, All in the Family,
Dukes of Hazard, and Andy Griffith. They enjoyed the music of Merle
Haggard, Freddy Hart and Conway Twitty. Lastly, they enjoyed fast cars
as well as many people did in the seventies. Drag racing was a fun event
for both my mother and my father. In the seventies my father owned a
1972 Ford Galaxy 500, 1970 Road Runner, 1973 Ranchero, and a 1976
buy truck doors. The cost of a new
vehicle was around $6000. Over all, the most rememberable event for my
mother in the seventies was in 1977 when Elvis Presley died. So
far all that is being offered are the trimmings, what about where it
really counts? GMC's upgrades have been focused on the chassis and
powertrain. It's not as strong as the Ford F-Series with their Super
Duty, but the Sierra Denali has a 20,000 -pound maximum towing capacity
with a fifth wheel trailer like the Chevy Silverado HD. Its diesel
engine is the star of the show. GMC has made substantial upgrades with
their oiling system that saw an 11% increase in highway fuel economy and
a range of 680 miles thanks in part to its 36 gallon fuel tank. This is
certainly what many will want to hear with regards to saving gas. Luxury
is nice, but economy is even better regarding fuel prices. Outdoor Bob, needed a truck
to go to work. Linda went with Bob to the local Ford dealer and bought a
new Ford pickup. Linda had the credit so the loan was in her name. About
six months later, Bob started to stop off on Friday at the local saloon
to cash his paycheck. Sure enough, there was a dart board there and a
few of the guys started tossing darts for beers. Bob was pretty good and
they invited him to be on the local dart team. Teddie grew up, started his own family and moved away. The man
died of some terrible disease, but Charlie lived on. Twenty years and
several more trims later, he was still going strong. She sometimes sent
Teddie photos of the plant, if only to remind him of that time in their
lives. She always hoped he'd see in those pictures what she was really
trying to say. She'd have to remember to mention it someday.
