damn.
i was just a KID when most of these shots were taken.
i loved old cars then, and i still love 'em today.
at least they were real back then, with personality. not the crap they put out today.
moosie-that dog is part wolf, isn't it?

I admire all you guys who have managed to part with beloved cars for an easier life with your loved ones,,,its worth it, hard cooking on an aircleaner and watching t.v. snuggled with yer honey on bucket seats. Trouble was that none of my ex's wanted me to sell any of my wheels, they just couldnt see me spending free time with them instead of "THEM", which I did but obviously not enuf,,,Peace,,,Moosie

Just after I sold the orange Firebird, my grandmother passed and I inherited 2 gems. A '65 Skylark coupe and a '42 Pontiac. I restored the Pontiac but sold it before it was completed. A fellow I was buying parts from wanted it.

Yes, they had cars back then!
Here are a few.
First two are of my very first car, a '53 Plymouth (remeber them?) Cranbrook (I think). Flat 6 cyl & fluid clutch 3 speed. That's an honest to god Earl Shieb 2 tone paint job. Cost $39.95 back in 1960 when photos were taken. ack:
The second set is of my second car, "The Ghost Rider". A '56 Plymouth Savoy. Customized with porthole antenna, custom interior with my first custom center console. I was heading off to the Navy, Nov. '63, when this was taken. I was 17 and bullet proof!
