Look Through Any Window
Just One Look
The Air That I Breathe

My best friend in the Navy when I was at Pax River in 73, had a 1972 Gremlin X. I think it had a V8? All I remember is that was a FAST car!

I had two friends who had Gremlins back in the 70's. One was a '71 6 cylinder automatic, which was plenty strong for the car. The other was the V-8 X as you stated. The problem with the X that he had was it was a manual THREE-SPEED! Who the hell would order that and think it was a good idea? LOL! It was yellow with black interior. Real great choice in South Florida. Black seats feel good there! OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your comment about my dad, C9. He was a wonderful father, and a great man. Very outgoing, and never met a stranger. I think of him every day, and miss him terribly. He passed in 1993. NC
 
That was a nice trip down memory lane. I had a few of those songs on 45s when they were in the top 10 of the hit parade. I think that "Look Through Any Window" was my favorite Hollies song although I liked almost everything they did.
 
YEAH!!!!! I second all of the above- and add 'Dear Eloise' and 'Stop-Stop-Stop'! Thanks for blowing the cobwebs off some good memories!
