7. Back in the halcyon daze of the mid-1970s

a pal of mine bought a huge '57 or '58 Lincoln that had been painted Pepto-pink using a brush and house paint. I think he paid $100 for it. It ran for an entire MN winter, and the trunk was big enough to hold at least five 16-gallon beer kegs.

In homage to the Commander Cody song we always razzed him with "My pappy said son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that Stinkin' Pink Lincoln." Those were the days.
