made
a mental note of the coupe and continued on their way.
“We
looked at a couple of other Corvettes, but decided to check out the ’82 again.
This was not our first choice in color or year, but it seemed to grow on us
each time we walked by.”
Before
Jim knew what was happening, Arlene was haggling with the owner, and an hour
later the deal was done. Jim had slipped a few dollars into his wallet from
the proceeds of a street rod he had just sold, but that was still shy of the
total cost. After declining to take a personal check, the seller pointed the
couple to a building where they could get a cash advance on their credit card.
Problem solved...almost. Now they had to get the coupe home, something that
required a Pennsylvania transport plate, which they could also get at the show
so long as they had proof of insurance.
