Today I got a 2015 Chevy Cruze from Sunrise Chevrolet in Forest Hills. Let’s turn back the clock to April 1, 1972 and examine the parallels between then and now.
In spring 1972 I enrolled as a graduate student at the University of Rhode Island in rural Kingston. I found out the hard way that is was very hard to get around without a car. I lived in a room about 1 mile north of the campus and took a bicycle to and from the campus. That area was very spread out and I was limited to where I could go. I pleaded with my parents to get a car for me. On April 1, 1972 my father took me to Luby Chevrolet on Yellowstone Blvd and Queens Blvd in Forest Hills where we bought a 1972 Chevy Nova.
Over the years there had always been a Chevrolet dealership at that location, but the name had changed. It became Lawrence, then HB and now Sunrise Chevrolet. So today, almost 47 years later I went with Karen today and picked up a pre-owned Chevrolet Cruze.
Since it was a cloudy, dreary day, I decided not to photograph the new car. I'll do it tomorrow.
