Dennis.

 The Devil made me do it but I need to publish a picture of a 1957 Chevy Belair Convertible. See
attached. If it hasn't melted due to my drool!

Dennis,

I have never owned a D but would give a whole bunch to own a 1957 Chevy.  It was my favorite car in
1957 and to this day it is still my favorite car.

Dean,

Years back I had a JD D.  It was purchased new in Kansas by my dad' cousin.  
I ended up getting transferred to Ohio and did not have anywhere to keep it, so I ended up selling it.

Looking back it is one of the dumber moves I have made, along with selling my 57 Chevy....

Thanks,
Dennis
