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.
had a 62 Bonnevilie rag top. 421 super duty engine and 4 speed auto tranny. it was a a fast car but sucked gas like mad when you hit the gas ! I think the gas tank held like 27 or 28 gallons though. the really great thing was the back seat ! it was great for making out! that was a Long time ago though. spent a whole weekend doing the leather seats after I got it. as a highway ride, there where few better than that one.
I had a 60 something Catalina and for the life of me I can't remember anything about it except it was so roomy. Wide bench seats and unbelievable legroom. Oh yeah it was maroon with a huge trunk. $14 for a generator! $14 for a starter!
'64 Bonneville?
ReplyDeleteTempest.
DeleteIt's a 1962, looks like a Catalina
Delete1962 Catalina, I think. In '64 the headlights were over-under not side-by-side.
