In in Kentucky a little south of Cincinnati, Oh. I need something that can be driven daily. I don't have the $ to keep my wife and I in cars and have a toy on the side. So I do without a "regular" car and have allways driven an old car for my daily driver. Im driving a 64 Cadillac now. I saw an ad for a 60 Matador that's supposed to be in good shape. I'm going to call about it later this afternoon. Hopefully it will turn out to be what I'm looking for.
