Hot Rods What would you have done?

Did I accidentally hit the Anne Landers sight?

 

Well I could have started another "Do these red steelies look good on my flat black RPU???" thread......

 

If Phil`s car is the one in your avatar, then Phil would be foolish to trade it off on some ugly ass bisquit. Phil could always put a 409 in his 55 and have the best of both worlds. Just my opinion from a 55 sedan delivery owner.

 

Well let's say "Phil" was having lunch one day, and a red HOT waitress started coming on very strong to "Phil".
Does he dump his wife for some hotty?
Does he "go on the sly" to take a walk on the wild side?
Does he smile in appreciation for a temptation he resists?

A simple smile is often enough.

Fight the impulse and take a moment to appreciate what "Phil" has now.

 

Phil says see post #27.

 

You are indeed wise, sir.
Phil says there's a million fine looking women out there, but not every one will bring you lunch at work, if you know what I mean.

 

On the other hand I would be tempted to trade my wife for one like Phils (Not really) but that would be nice

 

"Phil" needs to scrounge up some cash ... then head to the nearest Roulette table ... put it all on Red ... I mean Black ... no, yes, no Red ... wait ... (no more bets)


Tell us how it turns out ...

 

Phil made his decision already, he just wanted to know what you would do. Phil just can't get his mind off this foul temptress.
Next time I see it, I'm going to get the info for a HAMB member, because she's a steal at that price and I'd like to see someone who appreciates this type of car own it.
I mean Phil would.

 

WTF........soap opera. Why would anybody in their right mind want a '62 ...409...chevy ?
"AND THE BOWTIE ROLLS ON"

 

No No No, you don't get it .... hit the Roulette table .... and WIN the coin it will cost to buy the Bis ... then you have them both.

 

Phil said his luck matches your screen name, lol.

 

If I was Phil I'd change your avatar.

 

what he said..55 chevys are a dime a dozen...

 

I will take as many dozen as you can find at that price

 

What he said. They still demand top dollar, even now that you can build a brand new 55 from a catalog.
In my opinion, average people see a 55 and instantly think "cool".
Average people will see a 62 Biscayne and think "why does it look so cheap?".
NOT that that reasoning matters at all to me, just saying the 55 Chevy is one of the greatest, most popular cars of all time, from hardcore "car guys" to people who couldn't tell a Chevy from a Ford. The 55 is a much better looking car (subjectively, of course), and has a much larger aftermarket to support it.
In the end, I think it's just the hardcore gearhead in me that wants the 62. It's appeal in that regard is undeniable. What it is, is just plain bad ass. 409 Chevys, Hemi Mopars, Big Block Fords. Something about those cars just screams "it's all business".
The rest of me wants my 55. My 55 would run circles around the 62 unless i put a lot of money in it (have you priced 409 speed parts lately?), and I would because I want to go fast. But then would I feel bad hacking on an original 409?
It doesn't really matter, I'm not going to get the 62. I'm not giving up my 55 for just about anything. Again, just curious what you guys would have done.

 

if i was phil i would buy the 62 for my wife.................then drive it

 

(if i was phil i would buy the 62 for my wife.................then drive it)

sounds like a plan to me.

 

All this third person stuff makes my head hurt... it's too much like math.

 

well - I would have nabbed the Biscayne/409....he loves his 55, now he can love his 62. 55s are all over...not so much the 409-powered cars....besides - time for a change

 

sounds like phill needs to see Dr. Phill

 

i wouldnt give up a 55 chev for a 62 chev unless it was a convert or a corvette.

 

If I were Phil, I'd be in that 409 car so fast it would make your head swim.

 

Cars are like guns...you only collect more, never sell.

 

put a 409 in the 55

 

Did you ever have to make up your mind by John Sebastian:

Did you ever have to make up your mind
Pick up on one and leave the other behind
It's not often easy and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind

Did you ever have to finally decide
Say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide
Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny
With hair down to here, and plenty of money
And just when you think she's that one in the world
You heart gets stolen by some mousey little girl
And then you know you'd better make up your mind...

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister
When in walks her father and takes you a line
And says, "You better go home, son, and make up your mind"
And then you bet you'd better finally decide...


Just Sayin.................

 

Well tell Phil to keep his 55 Chevy of course I am biased since the Tri-Five Chevy's are my favorite cars.
You should here this its about a 57 Chevy:

Yep. Then he could really be Milner.

 

I think phil should put a 409 in the 55 as well....when i was a youngster in the late 60s,my uncle had a green 55 chevy... rear fender wells were cut ..white painted wheels out back chrome reverse on front.. no front bumper the crown jewel was the 409 and a 4 speed..even as a boy it made you feel funny to see this car.. he was in basic training in georgia before goin to nam.. he had a friend of his drive the car to ga. and on the way there met with a freak accident with an electric fuel pump and burnt it to the ground....i'm sure the memory of that car still haunts him...phil should do it..damn that would be cool....

 

62 - did i say 62? - 62
