How about this one.  I had my 1955 Dodge entered in the Cavalcade of
Customs,  It's a very large indoor auto expo, but there were a few original
cars in this Convertion Center full of customs, and I was one of those.
This young boy came up to me, in the midst of all these triple chrome plated
pieces of rolling furniture.  I would guess him to be eight or nine years
old.  He said, "Mister, is this your car".?  I said," yes it is.".  He said
" That is the most beautiful car I have ever seen in my whole life. " Can I
have your autograph,  on my program?  I said sure,  and was feeling pretty
proud, and enjoying the experience, when the child said, "DID YOU BUY IT
NEW?

I was 8 years old in 1955.   That, brought me back to earth.   I will never
forget the experience, it was neat.
