My new Philly Fox...

Buddy of mine found this at an auction and sent it to me:





It looks good on the shelves of the Museum of the Completely Unrelated, Mostly Forgotten, and Largely Useless

Nice Philly Fox. I'm sure your buddy holds you in highest esteem.

And I wonder how many if any Fox cars remain

You'd also have to pull a self-lighting cigarette out of the pack ... best done while the fairer sex is watching you exiting the vehicle.

One more thing............. you need a fine "fox" sitting close up beside you! Ahem!, as in my foxy wife, I mean!

Stan,

I'm sure your wife would class up the place, but I imagine neither you nor my wife would be happy about that!
