1979 Buick Skyhawk hatchback. Boston Red in color, therefore the rust blended in very nicely. V-6, carburated. It was a hand me down from my Dad who seemed happy to be rid of it. In fact, one day while driving home from work, the radio stopped working and he pulled over to investigate. Upon opening the hood, a small fire was discovered. He thought about it for a minute and decided not to impede it’s progress. Having no cell phone (1980’s), there was no way to call the fire department, well why not just inform the insurance company of it’s demise? Next thing you know, some nosy neighbor comes running with a fire extinguisher-like who has one of those in their house-and puts out the fire. The insurance company refused to total the car, paid for the fix…and the car became mine.
