Cranky and Ramona



thats me and my Ramona...a 63 Valiant Signet 200...funny story about her name and how she came to have it. My wife AKA the other woman in this story had put up with me looking for just the right car...I had looked at about 50 cars...had even bought one but returned it to the dealership due to bad paperwork...and bought this one sight unseen by my wife. I had been on my way to look at a 75 dart sport when I caught a glimpse of her in the rain out of the corner of my eye... I spun around to take a look at her with my buddy and it came up in conversation that maybe I should find out if she was for sale...and bought her on the spot.the car came home to Waterloo and went directly to the shop for the safety inspection. after about a week of having not seen the car, I take my wife over to see it. \She must have been jealous because she moaned about this and moaned about that. Still thinking about a proper name for the car , I was listening to an under played Michael Nesmith (the Monkees) solo song and the name came to me...gotta love the song Lucy and Ramona 9and their brother sunset Sam)
