Default 50 Years of Chevy...old shacking up with new

We hear about cars becoming obsolete but my '65 still gets me from A to B. I really enjoy driving this Impala. It's definitely a blast from the past.
It's all original (other than paint) SS sport coup 327 4 speed 12-bolt A/C elec windows 57,000 miles. Bright white interior with console. The seat is like sitting on a hunting camp cot. No planning on tracking this car but it has done a parade lap at Watkins Glen. The other car is a plain ole c7.

Nice pair of Chevys.

Here's my two that are 50 years apart. 66 is a 327/300 4spd with 55,000 miles. Drove it 600 miles over the weekend to attend a show in Birmingham. And the Z06 is a 2016.

Nice!!! Man, I love those 60's cars and the memories they bring back.

When people ask me what I drive, I tell 'em, "Just a two-door Chevy."

Beautiful cars. I grew up in Webster. Did you buy your C7 from Randal Chevrolet or Van Bortel Chevrolet by chance?

My other car is just a plain ol' C7. Love it Jeff.

This old car has been in the family for 43 years.
BTW, a '65 Impala convertible was my date car back in the day. And yep, wish I still had the thing.

My 50 year apart Corvettes: 1966 and 2016. Both Red with Red interior with manual transmissions. There has been a lot of progress in the last 50 years!

Dayum Boiler, a matching pair. That's gotta be every man's dream. In my book there ain't no way they get any prettier than the C2's.

Very nice, I love those Impalas. Very nicely optioned. I would certainly like to own one like it.
