Well it happened one fine winter day in 1963 while I was hanging around at V.V.Cooke Chevrolet in Louisville Ky.Someone told me that 6 blocks from there at Broadway Chevrolet they had a special aluminum front end car there. I went down to the dealer that fine day and on the back lot with the sticker still on the window sat a Palamar Red Z-11. I went inside and they let me test drive it. I loved the raw stock HP and told them I would give 3600.00 and put their name on the car, they declined putting their name on the car from a liability stand point but said I could have it for the 3600.00 I paid a deposit signed the contract and headed off to get a cosigner , I was 19 years old and that was not the legal age then. My mother went back and had it put in her name and I was off to the races..To BE CONTINUED
