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.

Let's not forget The Beach Boys, My 409.
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
there probably likes Little Red Corvette...
Who sang it? Ha ha easy one for the little younger 'ens.

I presume you mean "In My Merry Oldsmobile?"

C'mon, man, google is your friend!


It was written in 1905.

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.
