From the transcript

He was in Wacilla, now in Palmer. The rest you all know. His first car was a Morris Minor which his father had bought for him. It was a great little car but probably would only do 50 miles an hour. So anyhow, he came home one weekend, he'd sold the Minor and he arrived home driving a Cortina with a souped-up motor.
