My parents, Bob and Jo Faile, got married in March of 1967, in Winnsboro, S.C. That fall, my father went to the Adams Motor Co. Ford dealership, where his father worked in the service department, and bought a Ford Torino. I have a picture of the original bill of sale, dated Oct. 3, 1967, with a cost of $3,038.50.
