Mike Connors of Mannix fame!
That is very true. Our 409 was pro-built and had the latest of everything and the Mopars always won. I love the Mopar intermediates
Might have had a problem catching a speeding Duzy, Cad,Pierca Arrow, Chrysler, Buick, etc in that Model A!
People did not like them and the idea of producing them as a separate line was abandoned. 53-55 Corvette sales were miserable. They saved the...
Loewy's personal car.
Jean Harlow with her Caddy!
Those were great days!
When I was a 12yr old gearhead, I was interested in Lincolns mainly because my dad liked them. Our 55 was at the dealer for service and I was...
Joi Lansing!
Alice Lon, Lawrence Welk Champagne Lady.
1938 Dodge
I have never understood the attraction of the Woodlites. I think they look terrible.
The 2 & 3 tones were great! Some terrific combinations back.when people had some creative spirits. Now we get bland silver/goldish colors because...
The flags were on all 327's. The V withut flags was the 283.
Wow, that is really sad!
You bet and the same goes for people who "customize" Corvettes and 55-57 T-Birds.
It was typically garish and arrogant work by George Barris. Arrogant because he apparently thought his crap was an improvement to the classic Mk II.
I believe it was a statement about the deluge of Corvair pictures no.one complains about. I would rather look at Plymouths than Corvairs!
Feeding the bears was pretty common in the '50's in Yellowstone. we certainly did it in '54. I was 10 and it was fun and all the cars in our line...
More like a Boy Scout camping trip. That is not a military school uniform.
So what was so "exceptional" about a '56 Ford? I would have rather had a V8 Plymouth! IIRC, in 55 or 56, Buick was actually #3 in sales.
That is a pretty famous car & driver!
The buses of yellow, green & white of L.A. Transit were all painted green when the MTA came along in '57. There is one right behind this one. The...
Look more closely, it is a hardtop, not a post coupe.
Joi Lansing with the 300!
I have often wondered if car dealers got rid if hard to sell cars like Impalas with 6's on elderly customers. I cannot conceive of others buying...
My '58 Impala was one I believe, never overheated.
Cool '42 DeSoto with the hidden headlights which sadly were not continued post-War.
I have been to all of those places. Maybe the answer is that we had better cars than you did. Our 50-55 Lincolns, 59 & '60 Oldsmobiles, my 58...
Concern for public safety is more like it. I don't want these idiots on the road with me.
