A long time childhood friend of mine, Armando Plastino became fond of classic cars in the 1960s while hanging around older family members that owned classic cars those days. He has owned classic vehicles throughout his life and still has one today. Here is his story of his first car. In 1972, former Chief Executive Officer of Essar Steel Algoma, Armando Plastino bought his first car. It was a 1961 Ford Galaxy 500, it cost him $180 and he had to put some two-by-fours across the rusted floor to keep the bottom from dropping out. This excerpt was taken from a recent Sootoday news story. To read the full story click on link below. Photo courtesy of Classic Digest.com. The Ford Galaxy in attached photo is used to illustrate what Armando’s first car looked like. It is not a photo of Armando’s first car.
