I got my first "real" job as much because of my Bronco as anything else. One of the partners was a real car guy and had himself just bought a '66 half cab (also had a couple of vintage Ferraris, a Porsche, & a NICE Shelby GT350).
After my interview they asked to take a look at my '75 and went nuts over it. Hired me right there and told me later that they were impressed with my skills and Don, the EB owning partner, told the others that "anybody that drives an old Bronco is good people."
