Your Father made damn good money in the twenty years following WWII. He learned survival in France on the front lines and came home with a lot of grit. He ordered this Custom Shop Model 21 and paid $1100 for this treasure. He thought your Mother was still a Foxy Lady and turned around and ordered her a new MGB Model MKI 2+2 Hatchback with a 98 horsepower 4-cylinder, wire wheels, AM radio and a four-speed transmission. He paid $2600 for this piece of automotive nirvana and she tore the roads up in the hills of rural Vermont. If only guns could talk, and roadsters too!
