Jeff,
Numerology? If we are, nobody told me, but it would be sort of appropriate to the thread's intent, if not its charter. We could maybe dabble in a little phrenology and astrology and other stuff like that.
BTW, my first car was a 1955 Canadian Pontiac four-door sedan, with every conceivable dealer option, except an automatic transmission. It was one of the last of the real chrome chariots. Its name was Lazarus, a fitting name under the circumstances. My family bought it in Apirl 1962 for $150 and put a $250 rebuilt engine in it. It was in beautiful, near-showroom condition, having belonged to a wealthy couple who had used it only to tow their boats.
I kept Lazarus and drove it regularly until November 1982, when I sold it for $500. At the time, I found myself the proud owner of three cars (a long story) and one of them had to go. Lazarus was it. It was still in beautiful condition, but nobody wanted a four-door sedan. Had it been a two-door hardtop, it would have brought a small fortune.
