Rose, the Old Hen's first car was a brand new '73 Buick Apollo. GM had four of the same basic style, the Chevy Nova, Oldsmobile Omega, Pontiac Ventura, and the Apollo. Funny how they all spelled NOVA.
Her's was blue with a white vinyl top. Straight six automatic. Kept a can of WD40 in the glove compartment because if a cat pissed on the front tire, it wouldn't run. Run through a small puddle of water, it died. Had it back to the dealer a hundred times. Changed the distributor cap and wires each time. When we sold it, the can was in the glove box.
Little bugger ran like a raped ape, though. Reminded me of a gocart with windows. Lots of fun to drive.
