In 1965, I decided it was time for me to get a new car. At the time I was driving a "used" VW bug. A friend of mine,
Robert Harris, advised me to consider this new, great looking, 1500 Ghia. One look at a picture of it was all I needed to
agree. Since it could not be ordered here, I asked a friend of mine, Maria Eder, who lived in Furth, Germany (a suburb of
Nurnberg) to look into ordering it there. No problem. (She always enjoyed being part of a project like this!) So, in
June 1965, I went to Furth, picked up the car, and celebrated with a party that Maria planned in her home. Everyone there
was admiring my new car - it was as special for the people in Germany as it was for me.
