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.
Dad had a 58 Buick that he traded for a 2 door 65 Bonneville for mom. That ignited his inner gearhead. A 289 Mustang, Camaro RS, Twister 340, Demon 318 were rotated in and out until he drove a big block pickup.
My mom had a medium gray, 1959 Olds. I cracked my head open at school and was in the principal's office on the second floor of the school. I kept looking out of the window, looking for that car.
Suddenly, mom walked in.
I had not recognized the car from above. Being a short, little tyke, I didn't realize that the roof was a much darker shade of gray.
We just got a '95 Buick, Roadmaster with less than 100k on it. Caraged it's whole life. A real continuation from the old days, but powered by an LT1. Interior is all analog. The wife named it Helen, Helen Wheels. The LT1 is surprisingly fast.
Nice - never realized all 5 used the same greenhouse - seems obv now

Those roofs are useless in a rollover.

ReplyDeleteyeah the top two names are reversed. top one is the pontiac star chief.
ReplyDeletelook at any 1954 American car. they all look like hats. You could wear a hat in them.
ReplyDeletethese cars killed hats. hats were fading, these finished them off. if you can't wear your hat in a car, where do you put it?
