THE STEERING WHEEL

WE MOVED TO CROWLEY LOUISANA. I HAD A JOB AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AS PARTS MANAGER. WE BOUGHT A 1973 MERCURY MARQUIS AN OLDER BUT NICE DRIVING CAR.

WELL SOMETHING WENT WRONG UNDER THE DASH AND I HAD OUR SHOP WORK ON IT. THEY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AND PEGGY CAME TO PICK IT UP.

I GOT A CALL ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER FROM PEGGY TELLING ME THE MECHINICS HAD BROKE THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE HADA HARD TIME GETTING THE CAR HOME AND NEEDED IT TOWED BACK CAUSE SHE COULD NOT DRIVE IT WITH THE WHEEL STICKING STRAIGHT UP.

I RELIAZED THEN THAT PEGGY HAD NEVER SEEN A CAR WITH A TILT STEERING WHEEL AND THE MECHICIC HAD NOT PUT THE WHEEL DOWN WHEN HE CLIMBED OUT FROM UNDER THE DASH

I WENT HOME AND SHOWED HER HOW TO ADJUST THE WHEEL
