Celebrity Healeys

Rick--

I'm not sure I wanna go for it. Kid Rock is a celebrity and I don't want to be like Kid Rock.
 
My dad actually bought that Healey and gave to me a couple of years ago! I have a couple of letters and a year book, with a picture of Sissy riding in the back, as part of the homecoming "court" in high school. Gorgeous little car and runs great!

Same car? How many of those Everly Brothers hits must have played through that AM radios of our Healeys when the cars were new?
