P. 43

   bbing if I told you that I wasn’t sweat- ing bullets when the Reliable Carriers truck started unloading the car in the local grade school parking lot at 11:00 pm just two nights later. Happily, the trucker’s wife, (whose name was Faith), smiled and said, “Don’t worry; it’s one of the best we have seen”. She got into the car and started it up and turned on all its lights and I knew that “Pop” was going to be alright. We had driven the VW convertible down to the school to pick up the 356 and Faith’s husband had joked “It’s just like what you drove here in”. I replied that a lot of VW’s could be bought for what that 356 cost!
You’ll see plenty of “Pop 356” in the future, especially as the days get longer and the nights shorter. You’ve not lived until you’ve driven in the dark with 6 volt headlights.
