'63 is the earliest year I can remember. Everywhere people were "alive with pleasure".
My Dad and his friends all dressed like that.
I was dressed like that last Sunday out at the folks'. The first thing my sister said was "Animal House."

Unclelooney said...: Very remote in those days.
i knew a guy who graduated in 1940.
He joinen the British army after graduation then the US army in 1942.
He must have only come home for Christmas and summer, living in NE Iowa like he did.; 14 June, 2011 13:55

A '53 TD. What do you think?; 14 June, 2011 15:36
tintin said...: Unc Looney-

I think you got it. Looks like the TC only came in R hand drive although years later collectors converted some. It would seem in '62 that a TD was a lot more common than a TC and doubtful anyone would go to the expense of changing the steering.

The TD was the first car I fell in love with. I was 8 when I sent off for pics of one for sale.; 14 June, 2011 15:46

Trailer Trad said...: Brohammas,

Good call! They played great. Very well drilled. It helped that they put one of Dartmouth's wide receivers out on the wing.

Their 'D' jerseys were awesome. -I think rugby's getting a little carried away with the futuristic skintight, Underarmour look....
