Plankowner Posts: 9165 Location: Upper lefthand corner of the map. | Subject: RE: The cars we drove This one isn't mine but I can't find a pic of the one I owned.  Mine was pale yellow. Loved playing the little Japanese cars on the freeway. I'd let them almost pass, then floor it. I ate them alive. Love that V8. The car would squat and get lower to the ground the faster I went. Mileage went to hell after they quit making Ethel gas. Never ran the same with unleaded. Loved all that visibility. Glass everywhere. | ||

Master and Commander Posts: 2254 Location: Foothills of the Ozarks | Subject: RE: The cars we drove My first car was a '55 Chevy and my brother had a '58 Bonneville Convertible; he had more money than me. Then he went the big Chevy route and I started buying Mustangs. I probably crossed paths with Don Gentry at one of the local "Daly Burger Drive-Ins" Thanks; Ken; those were the days. | ||

Not the best car for carrying portable play pens and the like. Joe'the'Most (Ford Convert.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Ford Convert.jpg (67KB - 604 downloads) | |||

| Subject: RE: The cars we drove My favorite was a `64 Barracuda similar to this one. Back seat and back wall dropped down. It was great for napping on the way to/from Groton. Cost me $1500 in `69. Great little car.  | |||

| Subject: RE: The cars we drove joe griffith - 2009-01-20 12:32 AM When I was discharged from the Grampus in 1958 I went from a bubble head to a gear head. I've owned many muscle cars since. See my latest if would like. http://www.griffithcreative.com/joes396/ 1967 chevelle super sport 396 4 speed bench seat car with more upgrades than I can remember. The 67 SS was one of my favorites..I also loved the 67 GTX.. My first car was a 59 Chrysler New Yorker w/ 398 Hemi. Big and slow. My first "muscle car was a 69 Camaro Z28 with frog eye grill and a borrowed Baldwin Motion built 427 that I got out of a wreak.. That Z turned hi 11s for me up at Colchester back in 71 or 72 and it was a daily ride.. When between patrols if in Spring to Fall many of us gearheads would spend a lot of time up there at CT Dragway.. I think it's a housing development today..  | |||

Billy Bob Before I was drafted my best friend would drive his Mom's Rambler.. We all used to laugh whenever we were all at the drive in, we usually all parked in the same row in back.. We would hear those seats go back in his car just before he would test the springs for his Mom.. That was a great date car because the date's parents did not know that car's hidden secret of mobile lovemaking.. He ended up T boning a school bus with it at a 4 way intersection.. All were not hurt but the car was totaled..  | |||
