I remember flying to airstrips in Idaho in the 70's. Many of them had '58

transients. You'd use one for a day or two, fill it with fuel, throw a
couple of bucks in the ashtray for maintenance and leave it for the next
guy.

Seems like another planet from this one.

I have found many free loaner cars lately. The one at Clearwater
Florida is/was a brand new Buick!
