I remember when all the new models came out in the fall and were covered up
on the trucks.
We used to ride our bikes to the local dealerships at night and shine a flashlight through
the back windows of their service bays where they parked the new models until the
announcement date.

I can relate. There was a Chevrolet dealer and a Buick dealer within a mile of where I lived. My father was a Chevy guy, he had a 1952, then a 1954 that my sister totaled, a 1957 Belair V8 two door hard top Robins egg blue and white (my favorite) a 1962 Impala station wagon, and a 1966 Impala SS 396 which he totaled. For awhile he had a 1959 ElCamino as a second car. Then he switched to a Jeep Pickup. I had two 1955 Chevy Belaires a 2 door hard top and then a 2 door sedan both of which I put in big engines, 4 speeds etc. Then a 1950 2 door business coupe which came from California with rolled and pleated interior. I again went the big engine 4 speed low gears Crager mags route. Then a 1966 red Corvette 427 which I sold when I got married in 1972. Should have kept the car as the wife didn't last. I was a car mechanic from 1968 to 1973. Then a Chevrolet dealer Service Mgr from 2000 to 2020 when I relocated to the Villages
