When I got my '67 Lincoln Pervertable sedan in 1983, we worked on it for awhile, it was '84 B4 it was really roadworthy. I decided to get a Vanity Plate, I chose "67LNCLN" 'cause EVERYBODY wanted to know what it was. Our family company had also just been bought out by an outfit out of Framingham, Massachusetts. They were generally pretty decent guys, if maybe sometimes a tad slow on the uptake. I came out of the office one glorious spring day, & one of the F'ham boys was looking at my Lincoln, mumbling to himself. I walked up behind him, & he was saying to himself-Six-Seven L-N-C-L-N.... HMMM... Six Seven L-N-C-L-N.... I hollered out to him, "Sixty-Seven Lincoln, Gerald....." And THEN, it was like throwing a Light Switch on... And people think us HILLBILLIES are Dumn....
