[Leica] Wayback Photo: Lifting a Subaru 360

[Jim Nichols]

Nice shot.  A classmate of mine, and his brother, shared a Crosley at 
Mississippi State in the late 1940s.  On Halloween, a group of football 
players, with nothing better to do, carried it up the steps to the 
second floor porch of the YMCA.  Seems a long time ago.
