Man reunited with his first love

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) - April 9, 2010

It was his first car and he used to cruise with his then girlfriend, Joan. They married and traded in the car in 1958 for a new Plymouth.

But Thrash never forgot the old Ford and spent a decade looking for it.

Thanks to a computer search, the Kansas man managed to locate that very same Ford in Kalamazoo, Mich. Thrash tells the Hutchinson News he's spent a year restoring the Ford.

He says he loves the car because it brings back old memories.
