If you were into cars back in the 50's 60's you will recognize these Chevrolet cars.

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.

While I appreciate all of the old cars, I am a Ford guy, specifically Mustangs, and have rebuilt 8 from the ground up, managed to keep 1 a '66 fastback.

I also enjoy owning a couple Ford cars.

The sad part about Ford is it never realized what to do with the Thunderbird.
It's started out as two-seater and with good engineering could have competed with the Corvette.
This might interest you.

I agree with you on the T-Bird, my dad had 2 a '62 and a '64, I almost had a '55 with the removable hardtop and porthole windows, the seller jacked up the price when I went to pick it up.....

One of my friends became so obsessed with the movie "Bullitt" that he started restoring fastbacks.

The GT500KR is one of my dream cars.

Had a ‘63 Belaire back in the day, vent windows and a floor vent for ‘air conditioning’.

My favorite car. I love seeing this car. All I have to do is open my garage door and there it is. Stop by Spanish Springs on the 3rd Saturday and take a look.

I had a '65 and a '69. I loved them both. My daughter got a new convertible about 7 years ago, the most uncomfortable car ever...... worst ride. Stick to the old ones.
