One Piece at at Time

Remember that Johnny Cash song "One Piece at a Time?" I think this car fits the bill. Could you call it an Oldsmopontillac?

I always wonder why craigslist ads can be so picture-deprived. In this age of digital photography, pictures cost nothing to take. If you're going to take one photo, why not take another two or three while you're right there? I don't get it.

The car apparently began life as a Pontiac, so that should go first in the name.

I suggest Pontimobilac. Short and simple.

Or Ponticadmobile. Kind of depends on what order the Olds and Caddy parts were added.

I remember when I was in my early teens (long time ago) seeing a 53 Pontiac that had 53 Cadillac rear quarters on it and an 56 Olds engine. It was black and very well done. I was impressed enough to remember it over 50 years later.

The one that started those good 'ol songs?
An Oldsmobile. And a very Merry one at that.
Don't ask me year it was sung, who sang it dangit.
I'm sure the good 'ol boys in Olds mngmnt back then
pd. $100 for it anyway. T. Edison probably had it on wax.

Hmmm. New thread? Favorite car songs? Someone out

I presume you mean "In My Merry Oldsmobile?"

C'mon, man, google is your friend!


It was written in 1905.

I like a little of the old way,
the 'think about it awhile' way.

It comes to you then, ha ha.

I certainly agree. For a long time Clist allowed 4, now, here, they allow 24! You know sellers are aware buyers want lots of pictures. Are they lazy?
I need a bigger building, and a lot more money, I like this wagon.
