1959 Chevrolet Impala

Ah the days of "new car " previews, that's when cars had class now they are just "meh" who cares when they come out now, they all look the same!!! except me I look different every year...new nose or different color hair...keeps the FBI from finding me.

1960 Chevrolet Corvair

I heard of these cars, never saw one because I wasn't born until 1989, really, honest I'm just a kid... On the other hand who would of thought that the Corvair was a 4X4?

2008 DODGE CHALLENGER (CPTV trailer)

I'm waiting for the new Edsel to come out next...SWEET!!!

Farewell?

What you see here is my first car, my first car that I as a young child remember, the first car that I drove as a teenager. I was 4 years old when my uncle brought this car down to my Mom and Dad. Being as he was an employee of the Ford Motor Company he was able to follow the car through the assembly line and watch it being completed. My parents bought it(their first new car) and it was delivered to them. Many a Sunday afternoon was spent driving to the local McDonald's for a hamburger and fries, if it got hot the rear window would lower for flow thru ventilation, no need for air on this car!

Now the spectre of doom lurks for the Mercury nameplate. It appears that Mercury will be the next automobile to be discontinued, it is speculation but the sales of the Mercury nameplate is lower than Oldsmobile and Plymouth were when they were discontinued.
I'll always remember the "Old Merc"...........

kinda neat

the workings of an engine, guy got a heat proof camera set it up in a 4cyl engine,
this is better than the idea I had of putting my cat in the engine and firing it up, then asking Fluffy what he saw.

Kids, before the cell phone this device was on the highways and byways, you stopped to use it , that way you NEVER took your eyes off the road and could always concentrate on driving.
