My Great Uncle Tally, brother of my Grandfather, was a World War 1 veteran and he was gassed in action at France and I remember my mom telling me how he was constantly in and out of the VA hospital for treatment and the last car he bought was a 1965 Dodge Monaco, whose mid 70's models were also a popular police cars, and he passed away in 1969 and his widow drove it until she passed away in 1981.
