OH THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!!

Tiffany and I went to Target and we saw this 1951 Chevrolet and this car reminded me so much of the Pontiac Ambulance/Hearse Larry bought from a Mortician in Pleasant Grove in 1968. It was black and instead of sedan like this one it was a cross between a tall station wagon and a panel truck like they used to have in the old days before vans. I wish we had a picture of it. We had so much fun in the ambulance/hearse. It even had blinds in the long side windows in the back. When he first bought it, the red emergency lights still worked. It didn't take too long before we were riding down the road in Orem and Larry said "Watch This" and he turned on the red lights and the cars all pulled over and away we went until the Police Officer pulled us over and gave Larry a screw driver and said take them out. So he had to take out the red emergency lights and give them to the cops. That did not end our fun in the ambulance/hearse. Eventually he got a bumper sticker that said "Don't laugh your daughter might be inside." My parents and brothers returned from Venezuela for my High School Graduation, to find me dating this guy with medium long curly hair, buckskin fringe jacket and a black 1951 Pontiac Ambulance/Hearst that said "Don't laugh your daughter might be inside"
Once we were riding in that vehicle up Hobble Creek Canyon and the spriklers were on at the Golf Course and just as we drove past, my window was open, Larry said" watch out" and I looked at him and said "what" just as the sprinkler missed me and hit him smack in the face...tee hee!!!
