Liquid Assets
Well, when that happened, and Mrs. Smith would be all alone awaiting her husband’s safe return and in need of a little pocket money, they were forced to sell the car. Remember, Uber didn’t exist then, so it wasn’t like they could use it to pay for household items like milk and bleach to clean up all the backseat vomit. Remember, the ’48 Plymouth has a massive back seat.
The Korean War Happens
Now, the Smiths may have lost their 1948 Plymouth with the spacious interior (big backseat), but the North Koreans were the inheritors of a BUNCH of massive Soviet tanks, and the South Koreans the inheritors of a BUNCH of U.S. tanks. Neither got great gas mileage; both had spacious interiors.
Festive Found Footage
O.K., fast forward about sixty years, the first Korean War is over, North Korea now threatens the world order, possible nuclear confrontation is imminent, and the Smiths are nesting in their old age. It’s their 60th wedding anniversary, and a friend of theirs surprises them with some footage from their wedding day. Why he had it all these years and didn’t give it to them was not questioned…probably because no one really wanted to know.
The Best Part
The best part of the found footage was that it featured the 1948 Plymouth (HUGE backseat) and it brought instant joy to the couple’s faces. This is not a picture of the car. This is a picture of the Korean War.
