The Superbird Wing Was Not "Idiotically-Ineffective" or "Dumb"

This reminds me of the time I actually saw a superbird for the first time. It was 1978 and I was at a house owned by a friends of my mother, Bert and Bill, nice folks. I was 14 or 15 and we were sitting at the kitchen table having coffee and such. Then, I heard this rumbling noise. "hey, here comes the lady with the superbird" bill says. "what's a superbird" I say "Well your gonna see one in a minute" So we both get up and look out the window and my jaw just about hit the floor. I think it was medium blue and defintley a 4 speed. I just couldnt believe it at first seeing one in real life. I had seen them in pictures and such seeing one on the road was spectacular. I coulnt believe my eyes. I asked Bill why the lady was driving this car {aparently as a daily driver} I remember him saying that her husband had ordered the car before he went to 'nam and like alot of these stories, he did not come back. So there she is driving the thing around with 2 children no less, taking it to trips to the get groceries and such. I still wonder today what happened to that car. If anybody knows, the car was in the Vineland NJ area, just off of Forest Grove rd. I cant remember the name of the lady but she was a black woman in her late 20's early 30's at the time I would guess. If anybody knows this car, please tell if you have any info.
