My first motor vehicle was a Honda 50 motorbike purchased with under a hundred miles on it for a hundred and seventy-five dollars in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, summer of ’66. You’ll recall, The Beachboys sang its praises, and I can tell you, they sang the truth.
Two years later, in college in Oakland, California, I bought a forty-year-old Ford for four hundred fifty dollars. It was a 1929 pickup, all orig, nearly complete, and demonstrably drivable but well-worn and entirely unrestored. I sold the little Honda to my friend Keith Giebelman.
In the photo above, that’s Keith with his scooter, my high school buddy Steve Halvorsen with his ’56 Thunderbird, and I’m sitting on the running board of the Model A.
Hmm. I might have more to tell. Show me what you drove, and maybe we’ll go places with this story.
