I was hoping for a Willys mail Jeep, but I like the Renegade, too.

One of our modes of transportation on our wedding day was a 1955 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, which was used to take us to our reception, so she also got that one for me. The rest were ones I either asked for or had an emotional breakdown at the autorama while drooling over them. The autorama is different from the auto show. It’s actually better. Picture a classic car auto show. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

I didn't know checker cabs were made in Kzoo. That's where my son lives now and the general area where I'm looking to move this summer.
