Those WERE good times to be around cars! I am a bonafide Ford guy , all I have ever owned, but I love and appreciate seeing ALL the cars from the 60's up through about 1972! Pre-big bumper era  |
Yes, and the really fun thing about this thread is that it reminds us and takes us back to those wonderful memories. Everyone that reads this thread will have fond remembrances that will be rekindled to savor. It may even be the opportunity to tell grand and great grandkids about those days and opportunities for them to pass on for other kids someday. Good childhood memories are such a joy! I remember sitting in my 4th grade classroom in September of 1954 and looking out the window at what I remember as my first new car experience. A Fireman was parked outside waiting to pick up his daughter. The car was a 1955 4 door Chevy 2 tone pinkish and grey. Not many 2 tones then and especially those type of colors. The memory is forever etched (hopefully) in my brain. Too bad it wasn't a 55 Ford! LOL
