[quote user="AgentKid"] Thanks Murray, that was a great trip down memory lane. I see they were still calling them Ambassador's in '69. That '69 4-door certainly had a nicer roofline than the one they stuck with from '70 until the end. But I think they reached back into the parts shed to put that '69 roof on that '77 Matador. You read the histories of Nash and later AMC, those companies never let anything go to waste. Why talk of cars on a Railway related forum? I always thought of my interests in terms of a quote by the famous CPR builder William C. Van Horne. During a lunch in 1883, in his Private Car with Father Lacombe, an important person in the opening of western Canada, Van Horne said roughly; that there are things that have his attention, his immediate attention, and his undivided attention. At the time, he said his attention was on building the CPR, you Sir (Father Lacombe) have my immediate attention, and my undivided attention is on those God *** mountains (Rocky Mountains), they're in MY WAY! My version is; politics have always had my attention, cars have my immediate attention, and railroading has always had my undivided attention. Over the years, radio and computers have joined politics for my attention.

I still kind of yearn for the CP Canadian and the CN Super Continental racing west out of Dorval..... Wish they had the original train service to the Maritimes as well.
