Bill,
Nope, the figures are correct.
I was a crazy kid and would have 15,to 20 cars at once.
You could buy a decent running car for $15,00, back in the good old
days.
I remember one car (that I wished I still had) that I bought for $20.00.
It was a 56 Pontiac Starchief convertible, Red and white.same color
leather interior, white top.
Had it for awhile and traded some mad man for 7 other cars, and a Harley
3 wheeler.
This kind of thing went on all the time.
And the best part was,  I only had one set of plates!
Used to rotate the plates depending on which one I was driving.
Boy, was I a crazy kid!
Thank God my youth was prior to computers!
Hey, I only payed $150.00 for the Vanagon!
Found out this morning that my troubles last evening, were not of the
catastrophic nature.
Coil hot wire decided to fracture off the connector, at the coil.
Just didn't see it at 8:30 last evening, on the shoulde of the road.
Boy was I hot. ( not in temperature either)

Later,
