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.
In 1981 I dated a girl in college that had gotten her mother's boat tail Riviera when she graduated HS the year before. It was a very nice car but it did not last long. I always dated out of my league.
455. My uncle gave me his in’74. Me: part timer in lumber yard and college sudent. As you hit the gas you could see the gas gage headed toward empty. Never seen anything like it. Gave it back
Boat tail, nice.
ReplyDeleteSaw an olive green one that George Barris had made into a split back window version. Nice homage to the '63 vette.

ReplyDeleteWildcat 455? I'll look it up. Have some spare change, too.
ReplyDeletePretty sure it's a 455. I remember some Wildcats had 465s. Steve_in_Ottawa
