Hey Flash041!!!
Utica, NY?

Don's Ford??? Imagine my surprise learning that you had lived in Utica, NY! Glad your Pinto did not suffer from the Tin Worm that all cars in Syracuse/Rome/Utica area suffers from! Is it safe for me to assume that you were there for Griffis AFB? I grew up in Syracuse, NY, while my dad was retired from NORAD at Hancock AFB. He did work in Griffis as well as the NYS Police in Utica, NY. My wife of 30 years was born in Utica, NY, and we met at college in Geneseo, where I attended a class while I was an undergrad student at Rochester Institute of Technology and later graduated from Syracuse University grad school.
My 1979 Ford Pinto was my first car that I drove back and forth between Rochester, Syracuse, and Utica, NY! I purchased it when it was a year old from my father's colleague at the base. It was originally purchased at Steve Aloi's Ford in Mattydale, NY, which later became Courtesy Ford and finally went defunct in 2007. It was Ziebarted as it was critical to do whatever you can with all the salt that Syracuse was famed for! Looking at your Cruising Wagon, it is amazing you were able to keep it rust-free considering being a New York car! You must have garaged it during the winter, or was transferred out of state by uncle Sam?
Thanks for sharing your invoice...it brought back many memories!
Happy Motoring!
