It was a 72 DS (or D Special) as I recall. Fun car. I couldn’t drive it out of the dealership—🤦🏻‍♂️. It was a standard shift, with the stick on the column.

Hot, humid H-town + double knit polyester everything + vinyl or leatherette car seats = a bad case of prickly heat and a lotta talc, Bro.

TOTSI Ghostwriter Side Note: When THE MW opened its first store on the Friday (8/31) before Labor Day in 1973, I was celebrating my Sweet Sixteen birthday 1400 miles away, and since I can’t remember anything about it, I guess must’ve really partied my zangpeenies off.
