A 38 Plymouth, Wow, quite a stulish piece of iron. A buddy bought a '47
Studebaker last fall, so ugly that it is cute. Must have belonged to some
hippies at one point, big flowers painted on the door. If it could only
tell the stories it has seen.......
Many of you folks who have made the pilgrimage to Baraboo have driven by
Jim Delaney's surplus joint, across highway 12 from the defunct Badger
Army Ammunition Plant. The standard warranty there is that "if you break
it, both halves are still yours, two for the price of one!".
Jim ran a store selling groceries and the like to the folks who lived in
the Badger Staff Village during the Korean operation. At that point in
time it was illegal to sell condoms, they being labeled as an obscene item
by our puritanical ancestors. Jim saw a niche and sought to fill it, and
being a gentleman as well as a businessman told everyone that it they
found it to be defective, to return it and he would give them a refund! He
also offered to staple instructions to the package for those who might
need them.....
