    Almost missed the photos on the bottom of the previous page. I had to google the Continental Divide Raceway to see where it was...... Castle Rock, Colorado (I25 just s. of Denver).
    The last "video"........almost zip for foreign cars. No Hondas, Toyotas, and not even a Volkswagen is sight. I think I did see a Fiat (?) though, lol

    I remember the Jumbo Drive-in. We lived in Dallas then. Great drive-in fare. Thanks for the mammaries! ;)

    A bit off topic, but look at the number of what appears to be movie marquees on the left side of the street.

    Two perfect examples of why Ford stopped the use of the front hinged hoods.
    Look where they be headed had the impact been harder.

    I'm 99% sure that pic was taken at the top of Ute P***/ highway 24 in the Green Mountain Falls area just west of Colorado Springs. Note the stickers in his back window I believe are Cave of the Winds, and Indian Cliff Dwellings. They are both in Ute P*** in the Manitou Springs area on Hwy 24 just 2 miles or so from where I think this was taken. Just a few miles from where I lived in Colorado. I'll have to check with a few Colorado Springs friends to see if they know anything about "Frenchy's". I copied the pic, so on my next trip to Colorado I'll look for the exact spot and take a pic.
