When I was a freshman in high school one of the seniors had a Hillman Minx convertible that he'd installed a Bermuda Bell in. To that time I'd never heard one, but man, what a glorious ring tone.

For some of the same reasons as Roger mentioned about economy, my father got a new Falcon in 1960.......thankfully. I remember one of the cars he tried when shopping was a Renault Dauphine............glad I don't have to tell you guys I started driving in THAT thing. Three on the tree behind the little six. A year later my mother finally took up driving and she got a '61 Falcon with an auto. Oh the things I did to and the places I went with that poor car.................
