Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 02, 2013

At my school only the rich kids drove anything, not any pluggers. AH, suburbia.

1957 Chevy Bel Air. I wasn’t rich. The Chevy was the family car until Dad gave it to me in 1966 (Junior in High School) rather than trading it in on the new Chevy Impala.

“Nyaah, Nyaah, Nyaah…”

driving the old cars is like driving a tabletop. considering how big the engine was. and how big the front end had to be to accommodate that engine. before you squawk at me. I used to own a ’70 Buick Skylark.

How appropriate – the postmaster is an American bald eagle. With glasses, no less!

@Notsoastute said,“Anybody see that ’70 Mustang that they re-did on Counting Cars?”

Sure did.. Impressive job they did, they did !!

ah a pink Rambler station wagon, I forget the year 60-70s

“It’s a ‘49, ’50, ’51, ’52, ’53, ’54, ’55, ’56, ’57, ’58, ’59 automobileIt’s a ’60, ’61, ’62, ’63, ’64, ’65, ’66, ’67, ’68, ’69, ’70 automobile”— Johnny Cash, “One Piece At A Time”

Don’t remember the exavt year, but Dad had bought a used Monte Carlo. Circa late 70’s? WE ALL LOVED DRIVING THIS GAS GUZZLER.

A black 1952 Buick, pulled the grill and recovered the inside of the front doors with red plastic. For dating I was allowed my mother’s ’59 with a tilting seat!!

Potrzebie: Actually, it is a Postal Clerk at the counter. Postmasters stay in their private offices, lest they have to interact with the public. The few post offices small enough for the same person to do both jobs have been/will be shut down.

My first car, a 1950 Buick for fifty dollars.

The back seat was bigger than most motel beds.

I slept in it many a night after a band job in old DC in the sixties.

Made a few bucks and bought a ’59 vette. Loved those cars. Had a 65-327 and a 72 T-top vette.

The sweet car had to go when our daughter came along, she wouldn’t fit on the packing shelf of the 72.

She was/is worth it.

The old Sarge

Soon anybody that’ll go to a Post Office will be a plugger….

You can almost get some of those Japanese cars on a postage stamp.

I am confused. Pluggers are sometimes oldsters and other times they seem young. What is going on? Like a Twilight Zone episode.

Good comic. My first car was a ’65 GTO convertible. A variation of this would be Your a Plugger if your 1st car is a classic and worth a lot more now. Wish I still had it.
