I had a 62 Catalina once. It was plum in color. I bought it at an estate sale from a little old lady who drove it to church, it only had 45,000 miles on it.

What a great roadtrip car, I could fit EIGHT kids in it.........

Hillman, Sunbeam, Belair, Simca.....where are they now?

Imagine it's 2020. How many of today's brands will still be around?
