Great year for vehicles. The 60 Cadillac..ooh wee.. maybe the best year. I do like the 66 impala though. Dark blue with some Cragars. Lawd have mercy.

I'm rather partial to the 60 sport coupe...

I like those gawdy '59 Caddies. They had the biggest fins, but the '58 had the biggest **** on the front bumper. Sweet old land yachts when America was in its prime.

 

[boo]

I agree with hippie, the back end of a 59 Cadillac is just beyond comparison. The **** on the front of the 58 were designed by a guy called Dagmar and that’s what the name of the **** are, Dagmar’s… The slab size 60 Cadillacs are also classics and render them selves very well to rest of mods assuming you have very deep six digit pockets. When I began my collection cars were a dime a dozen

Nice

I remember when you could buy a '57 Chevy two door for six hundred bucks and drive it home. Wish I'd had a pole barn and the bucks to fill it.

62 was another great year...

That 62 brings back some fked-up memories. I was on the way to school on my Motorcycle in HS when a black man turned across in front of me. Busted my knee in 14 places and left me with only a half a knee cap. That fking car kicked my ***.

Would love to have a impala or Belair from 61. That is my birth year, I do have a 63 Chevy truck for the wife's birth year.

[boo]

don't forget the 69 camaro L-89, one of the rarest and most sought after camaro's ever made...322 made, 24 exist I'm told...

 

[runyoned18]

all right that is enough of that ****. At 61 years old I will never look at the wife the same. Dam I will need a whole bottle of blue pills lol.

This bad boy has been sitting on skates in my barn for 10 years and will be resurrected in the next month as time permits. It has the L 72 motor in it which produces roughly 475 hp at the flywheel. For insurance purposes Chevrolet rated it at 425 horse… The only option it got was power steering. No gauges or Consol or radio. Just a lightweight powerful car that was built for drag racing only

No Gauges at all?
