Cars We Drove

Those were the days..!!!
In '67 bought a very nice '62 Corvette for $1600.
Great times driving in the Rockies with the top down.
Found a hardtop for winter... not the best "snow car".
It was not a "classic" ... it was a driver..!!!!
Too bad we had to grow up... :7 :7
KEEP SMILING ... :+ :+

Talk about memories, the picture of the stock car race could have been me. in 1954 I drove a 1941 ford coupe in races at Forrest park racetrack in Dayton,Oh. But what got me was the # on mine was also 22.

Have to ask if you're familiar with Kil Kare drap strip in that area?? Brother raced there back in the day and was recently seen at the Expo in Wilmington driving his latest obsession, a 1930 Ford Coupe that he showed in the National Street Rod Show in Louisville.

Many, many, many years ago, when I was about 15 I spotted a 1948 Crosley in the Dodge/Desoto lot. My dad and I went to the dealer and I put it in lay-a-way. It cost me the grand sum of $65.00 I never was able to legally drive it, because I traded it off on a 1947 Chev Fleetline two door with a motorcycle muffler.

Jim recently read a book about the Crosley family business. I hadn't remembered the cars, just the radios and of course Crosley Field but shortly after he finished the book, I came upon someone towing this funny-looking thing and couldn't figure out what it was...you got it, a Crosley.

Why would you tow a Crosley when you could just as easily put it in the bed of your truck or in the trunk of your car?

I had all but forgotten about a 1951 Dodge or Desoto rag top I had. Fluid Drive. When I went to pass somebody, I kicked her into passing gear. By the time the tranny kicked backed into driving gear, the car I was attempting to pass had passed me and left me standing still in the left lane. Yes, it was also smoooooth. Smooth meaning slooooow.
