What's hanging on your rear view mirror?
Guys/Gals: Back in the day, those of us old enough to remember the sixties would probably recall the things that used to be on your mirrors or dashes. For us Catholics, it was usually a St. Christopher medallion on the rear view mirror. Others had something else hanging there - perhaps a photo of your girlfriend or a good luck charm. What was on your dash or hanging from your mirror back in the day? Please send in your story and a photo if you've got one. I'll kick it off with mine. I've included a photo of the St. Christopher medallion on the inside rearview mirror of my '74 Duster. My mom and late dad used to have it in our green 1967 Fury wagon back in the day. The two metal prongs in the back would be pushed into the fabric headliner, and it dangled from the ceiling by the mirror. You'd see them a lot back in the day. When the wagon went away, the medallion migrated to my dad's dusty workroom in his basement, where I discovered it ten years ago. It'll live forever in my Plymouth, now. On this medallion, BTW, is an image of St. Christopher (which means "Christ bearer" in the Catholic faith tradition), the patron saint of travelers, along with an image of the Blessed Mother on the left. So how about you? Please send in your photo and story of what's in your ride - religious, secular, or whatever you've got. Thanks and happy new year!
