And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

That color! Never would have chosen it, but now I'm sold.
When I was a kid the Army Master Sargent that lived down the street had a 68 Aqua-marine GTO convertible with the Centerline spokes. The Centerline spokes didn't have the goofy tabs for correct lugnut fitment. His GTO had the retractable headlight covers and all the options. He kept it for 2 years and traded it for a Plymouth Superbird.
My favorite version of the GOAT
ReplyDeleteThat color, to me, is baby poop brown. Really kinda gross.
ReplyDeleteWhat's it's supposed to be - champagne?
ReplyDeleteYes, Champagne great color.
DeleteHurst GTO Gold. I painted my '67 BSA Lightning that color.
ReplyDeletemakes today's cars look like crap!
ReplyDeleteMore traditional Cragar five spokes needed for me… those wheels just don’t do it for me.
ReplyDeleteDitto...
ReplyDeleteAgree with the comments on the wheels; the Chip Foose influence doesn't work on that era.
ReplyDeleteFunny. I didn't even notice the wheels. I was fixated on the beautiful automobile.

ReplyDeleteWe had the 66 Bonneville in that gold color. It was an all day job to wash, wax, and then polish all that chrome.
ReplyDeleteHad a hard top just like that; alas, it had a straight 6 under the hood.

Basis for the Monkeemobile?
ReplyDeleteHad a 65 that color. No one knew the true color. Silver was the most common mis name. Was a fast buggy.
