Mike Derman’s 1964 Pontiac Lemans

Cindy’s Silver Cougar
My first car was a silver 1972 Mercury Cougar, that wasn’t actually mine (a mere technicality) and my most vivid memories of it involved running out of gas, or trying to scrounge money so that I didn’t run out of … Continue reading
First Car, First Boyfriend
My first car was a bug–eyed Austin Healey Sprite. I got it when I was 18. My first boyfriend was a blue–eyed artist named John. I got him when I was 17. I bought my first car from my first … Continue reading
