Nostalgia Pic #6: _____________ A brilliant vintage Ford roadster from 1979, idling at a Khorlim (Mapusa) lumber yard on the way to Assagao. Whilst most of the 70's "phoren" autos in Goa were 'Africander' imports, the 50's, 60's were characterised by American imports (via Portugal and Germany) like the Chevrolet, Pontiac, Ford and the Teutonic Volkswagen and Mercedes!
This zippy number must date at least from the 50's....anybody? Take a look - don't forget to click on the photo to unfurl - here it is: http://2008goanconvention.com/nostalgia.php Picture: courtesy Tony Fernandes "Goa - Memories of my Homeland" (Poems & Short Stories) pub.
