That 289 car takes me back to my youth. I believe this is this car I almost bought in 1968 for the sum of $6600. I could afford the payments but the insurance was going to really put me in a bind. It gives me the chills to think that after all these years the car is still out there. At the time I was driving my 48 ford thus the name that I use here. Barbour owned a booming gas station business in Ceres Ca. I would get my gas there along with my fishing supplies.
He always had stuff for the sportsman at good prices plus some groceries. His store was as busy as the gas pumps.
