It still makes me sick to think about the '53 Skylark I could have bought for $1,800. in 1990. Sitting at a tranny shop in Lakeland,Fla. for several years . It was solid,original,running and driving.Needed a restoration. I figured that the owner would want $10,000 for it,so I never inquired . Until it was too late. My curiosity got to me.So ,summer 1990,I stopped by the tranny shop and ask the owner-he said that it he had just sold it a fews days before,for $1,800. to a Canadian fella. By not asking and assuming, I blew my only easy chance at owning a dream car.
