So stately behind the wheel That old Cortina could have been a Rolls The engine chugged To the beat of your heart Slow and steady Making the drive home last Captain of your ship For five peaceful minutes

I am racing to Google now to look up Cortina. How have I lived this many years without consciously hearing about them?

Not many sold in the U.S. Caren, but they were big in the U.K. and Ireland.

Thanks for the introduction to the Cortina. Looking at pictures of it online, it certainly had a stately, if slow, elegance to it. Happiness and health, Gershon

And all good wishes to you, Gershon. Those cars look better to me now, at a distance of several decades, than they did in their heyday.

Hello Sharon Keely, this sounds to me like an antique car. A Rolls is antique. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello Sharon I have always liked antique cars dating back 1930's to the early 40's. I am always drawn to them. Thes are beautiful cars. I also like the two tones cars. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hi Darlene, I hope you have a lovely day too. The Cortina, an offering from Ford in the U.K. in the '60's and 70's, would certainly be an antique by now!
