Default Coincidences in Life

Depending on your age.....probably determines if you have had any unusual coincidences in life. They can be funny or serious or sad. I have had several that fall into the different categories.

I figured I would start this thread off with one that is funny or at least it brought back nice memories for me. Its even car related. I will have Mr AMC Guy post a photo when he gets a chance.

Maybe 3 years ago I was at a major swap meet not sure which one and a local vendor had a huge table set up with framed black and white copies of old photos that he was selling. One caught my eye immediately. It showed a Sinclair H-C gas station that sat on one of those narrow corners that comes to a point. I knew that gas station because back around 1963-64 I worked there. The station is long gone its Subaru dealership now. I had a 1954 Ford coupe when I worked there. I worked alone from around 6 pm daily until I closed the station at 11 at nite.

I remember installing a Hurst 3-speed shifter in my car using the lift. With my limited skills I was one of those owners that needed the huge floor shift boot to cover the hole I put in the tunnel to clear everything!

I bought the framed picture as it turns out the guy selling the pictures his father owned the station back then!

Lets hear one of your coincidences. I got more to share but that is an opening one.

Case your wondering for any local readers this gas station sat at the south end of Jenkintown, PA Bryner was below it, Lord & Taylor was across the street Subaru dealership I believe is Glanzman Subaru.
