YES, YES, MAL & VAL!!! It really was a beauty! I was first spoiled with the '55 Buick hard top turquoise and white coupe (not sedan). Much later when I was married, one of the cars I really enjoyed was a Honda Civic hatchback with stick shift which I didn't get to keep very long. When my youngest daughter, a lefty, couldn't pass her driver's test twice, I had to give it up for a Mercury Tracer automatic shift. Such is life. ~Liz
