Featured Hot Rods Where were you in '62?

Bumping this. Finally got a couple pictures of my 53 Chevy and Cushman on the first page of this thread.

17 years old and cruising the streets of our small Nebraska town in my 53 Chevy and trusty Cushman scooter and trying to spend as little time as possible in the principals office. Had started collecting Little Pages. I was hooked on 32 Fords. Life was good.

 

Born in 59, 62 is a little hazy for me. It was probably nice since I was still an only child. 63, 67, and 69 gave me three brothers. Life was never the same.

 

My 54 in 63

 

Developing eyelids!

 

My first year at a Roman Catholic seminary...
Obviously, it didn't work out.

 

No...... but I hope you managed to teach them a thing or two.

 

< We were in 2nd grade, different schools...

 

This would be me in 62 with the flat top. Well 6 days till 62. { notice my 1961 Ford model on the floor under the Christmas tree. }

 

This thread makes me feel young. My parents were in Kindergarten in '62.....

 

I have some "flat top" pictures around here somewhere. I like the rotary phone and the Buddy-L camper too!

 

1962: I spotted a channeled 1930 Ford Roadster body in a barn on Gilbert Street. Got it for cleaning out all the other parts that the owner wanted out of the way.


I sold it in 1976, got it back 25 years later, one of the slowest builts on the HAMB.

that pretty teacher looks like she's taking a deep breath ..

 

Searching all over town for a beautiful blonde in a white T-bird.

Chaining the local cop's axle to the light pole.

And a bunch of other stuff.

 

I was 26 years old and going into the service to jump out of airplanes.

 

I graduated from HS in '62 and bought my first car, a '57 Austin Healey, 100-6.

We put a chopped a channeled '32 5 window coupe body on my best friend, George's ch***is, because his stock, full fendered '32, burnt on the Santa Ana Fwy, from a clutch going out on the Olds engine.
