For the longest time, Roger O. Geiger of Torrington, CT believed that he owned a 1958 Mercury Monterey - until RIDE-CT did a story on the classic car back in mid-August and a viewer asserted that it wasn't a Monterey, rather a short-lived and forgotten entry-level model called a Medalist. RIDE-CT went back to see Geiger and get his reaction.

Awesome color Great story
Thanks. I was around when the Mustang came out and remember the Poppy Red color, but I don't recall it being so vibrant.
Another great/ interesting story
Thanks again.
Best summer of my Life riding in my buddies car with alpine stereo, 150watt JBL’s with Van Halen cranked!
Alpine stereos were the best!
Good Man
He was.
Rest easy❤
My neighbor went to pick up an Avanti II in Burlington, and the guy also had a yellow Pantera as well.
Ok, now I'm curious. Who is the owner of the Pantera?
Thanks, Bud. Another great story.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Worst? BEST!! 👍👍👍💪💪
It certainly is memorable.
He died 😭😭
RIP Andy.
Cool story 🚘
Thanks. His trade-in Miata is still on display at Modern Mazda.
A fool would buy this car. A genius would park it and never drive it.
0:53 😮
I was hoping to see him buried with his car true car person i wish i had a car like that I'd be buried with it forreal
I really need to find how who is getting the 'Cuda now.
To bad it faded already 🤦🏽♂️🙏🙏
It really is a shame. When I went back to the grave site to get a "today" photo and video, I was stunned that the orange on the headstone had disappeared. I've been Messaging with Andy's son on a daily basis. He's amazed that so many tens of thousands of people have watched the video.
If the interior hadn't been completely redone, that would have been a bigger clue. Only gray fabric w/no pleats/stitching and black rubber mat. No trim on door panels. That is where the cost shavings went.
Thanks for the info. I've already shared it with the Medalist's owner.
I wish I would have kept my 1973 el camino. 454 same color as this car. Non SS. Black bench auto. Bought in 1984 with 96k mi. Sold in 1986.
Ask any car lover and you're bound to hear a regret. Wish I had my father's 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix.
May you enjoy your car for many more years to come !✌️👍🏻👍🏻 Writing from France.
I'm guessing he will. Saw the owner this year and he's still loving it. Merci for checking out the video.
Great video As mentioned in previous videos …sounds like the music at this show was a bit too loud. Otherwise the cars featured had a great story
Certainly can't argue with your analysis.
Very cool. More rare. More digging required!
You bet.
I'd be buried under a pt cruiser
With a PT Cruiser, you could go in the back...
@ride-ct-classiccars True I could be buried in one! Make my hearse a PT Cruiser! Thanks for giving me the idea! 😏 make sure to go through your town!
The comments are astounding! How people don't see the irony is beyond me! The dude told you how much joy it brought him throughout the years but the lowlife worthless POS Freemason is so selfish that he doesn't want anyone else to have that same feeling! WAKE UP ALREADY PEOPLE, THIS DUDE WAS 100% PURE EVIL 🤬😈💩🤡🖕
It figures a lowlife worthless greedy Freemason owned it. Selfish POS should let someone else have the good feelings it brought! Just look at the pentagram on his headstone and you can see he's telling you just how EVIL he was! sickening just ABSOLUTELY SICKENING 🤮 🤮 🤮
i had a tr7 in 1884 same colour as this one which i think is zircon blue here in exeter s west england
Great styling!
agreed with all, , , but add, psrking cars too close. need to allow room between
You're the first person to suggest this. Good point.
I love the copper red MX-5 "C".
Great color!
What a waste! You cant take your stuff with you when you die... the Egyptians were smart idiots and didn't love Jesus
God speed, Andy, and cruise on.
I'm sure he is...
Can't wait for the Toronado and Comet....
Thanks. Looking forward to doing the stories on them.
"raced Fiats...." prolly against other Fiats! 😹
Just so you know, I have another Fiat story in the pipeline.
My FAVORITE 2 DR GM HARDTOP
You have good taste!
