What a great story! I still have my 1978 MGB but it rests comfortably in a covered garage during the winter.
Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Tom.

Tom, You’re right! They were lovable old junkers. What you didn’t know then — and I’m revealing it now after all those years — I always removed at least one floorboard when I knew you’d be hitching a ride. ;->

That is a very suspicious story. My memory of Jon’s cars from the 60’s doesn’t include anything even remotely close to what could be characterized as new. In fact floorboards seemed to be an option that Jon routinely didn’t have.

I do have a clear memory of coming back from a day of skiing at Song Mountain in one of his junkers and stopping at a traffic light . We never left that intersection. The car caught on fire. We saved our skis and boots and lives but the car wasn’t salvageable .

A great story and a great car it was. The color was called Harvest Gold the same color as my old MGB. In the early 60’s I drove my Green Bug Eye Sprite from Long Beach NY to Davos in the Lower Catskills. It was a wonder we ever lived through those slides for life on the Thruway ice.
