When Gerard Bogossian, of Cranston, was 12, he would get excited to see his dad, Alan’s, 1979 midnight blue Corvette. He would brag to his friends about how fantastic the car was and what a cool plate he had, YRUSLO. He even took the car to his high school prom. Sadly, in the 1990s the car was sold and the registration was never renewed. Recently, Jerry was in the market for a new car, and it was going to be Mustang. He had driven one 16 years earlier but didn’t buy it. It was too much of a machine for him at the time, his dad said. So he bought a 2008 Mustang GT and tweaked it a bit to add to the performance. Jerry stopped by his dad’s house right after registering the new Mustang to show it off, and much to his dad’s surprise, YRUSLO was now on the Mustang. “Dad, we got it back,” Jerry said, and the torch was passed.
