Well, the trip to Chattanooga in the Formula for Thanksgiving was a blast! The car ran like a dream, and the 300 mile round-trip was uneventful. I️ cruised at 65 to 70 MPH with the driver side window down, a little heat on the floor vents and the radio off so I️ could just listen to the engine “moanin’ out its one-note song”.

Once there, I️ enjoyed Thanksgiving with my family and then recreated the photo taken by my Dad 42 years ago in 1975, when I️ had my first Formula 455. Hard to believe the difference in the place...well, in me as well. All those years have wrought changes in a lot of things. For example - My hair, like all the pine trees, is long gone! However the mountain stone retaining wall, and the clear glass globe of the landscape light over my left shoulder are still there.

42 years apart - two cars - same owner - same delivering dealership - parked in the same spot in my parents driveway.
