I am old enough that I remember when "gay" was happy and carefree, not what we know it as now. ![]() I just liked the fact that things were simpler then and would be misinterpreted today. ![]() | ||

Expert Posts: 3967 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: DFW, TX | My aunt, born in 1953, is named Gay. I think it's a wonderful name actually. She has obviously spent a lifetime making light of people's reaction. She has a shirt that reads, "Hi, I'm Gay" on the front and, "That's my name, stupid" on the back. ![]() The '55 CRL hardtops are among my favorite FL cars. The trim and colors just look great. Thanks for sharing. | ||

Veteran Posts: 144 ![]() ![]() Location: Simi Valley, CA | Yes! I was very happy(Gay) in 1966 when I my dad gave me my first 55 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer he bought for $99.00. We brought it home from a cheapy car lot in Van Nuys ,Ca. After about a week we found out it had a cracked block. So Dad and I went to the junkyard and looked through the pile of old engines and found a 58 Plymouth 318 for a $100 dollars. We then took it to Earl Shiebs auto paint shop and for $29.95 I had painted "Fire engine Red". I then put some old "glasspacks" from the pile of old mufflers at the junkyard that matched(color). I wanted to look "Hot" so I bought a set of Chrome Reversed wheels for $40.00 from "PepBoys Auto Parts". Every friday I would have the car loaded with my friend s and go to the my high school football games. So later on when I decided to buy my second vintage car and after looking a many 55 Dodges, my Wife said you are going to keep looking, so just buy one and get it over with. So I did! Its the one I have now and after almost 30 years of ownership and after 43 years of marriage, I'm very happy(Gay)! So when I "come out" and take it for a drive I'm very Happy(Gay)!!! | ||

Lots of old songs using the word "gay" and there was a car named Gaylord, IIRC, but I'm certainly NOT googling it! ![]() Edited by 1960fury 2020-04-11 4:32 PM | ||
