It was yellow, 1970 model with the taller upper frame rail. It was quite the challenge. Never could manage a wheelie though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Awesome that you made it on the voting block for Muscle Machine of the year, the '68 Shelby GT500 KR CVT is a customer of min'es on the opposite page. I love the fact that you dirve the crud out of her. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif ~Patrick

She needs the constant exercise - Otherwise she'll get all fat, pudgy, and lazy (like her owner) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Here's the same bike: father and son, same age, about 38 years apart...

Got the bikes out today and tried riding them. The boy and girl picked it up right away and left me in the dust. The son had a bit of trouble shifting, though. It's hard to get used to letting go of the handlebars to shift gears. The wife took some videos. It was quite hilarious. We got her riding one, too.

Peace, brother.

He was not a happy camper!

But he's a good sport...especially when bribery is involved.

Great pic Steve..
Is that the exact same driveway too..what,no Country Squire? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: More Fame
 

Actually, it is a completely different house but the dimensions of the garage and driveway seem to be exactly the same. I must have subconsciously wanted to duplicate my Connecticut family home from the 1960's.

With 7 people in the family we had a fleet of Country Squires back in the 1960s. They'd all last about 2 years. Dad went to a Plymouth Satellite Suburban in 1972. It was Rallye Red with a black racing stripe - the same color as the Charger. Boy was that wagon a lemon. It was just as reliable as the Griswold's Wagon Queen Family Truckster. After that debacle, Dad bought Chevy Suburbans til the 1990's.

Here's a typical family vacation circa 1970. Note the conestoga wagon tarp covering the 2 years of supplies we needed for the 3-day weekend.

Gee, we all looked so happy. I just loved having to wear a cardigan in August.

Re: More Fame
 

I can relate..verbatim of what when on in our family too.
Our Ford wagon was white/red gut.My Dad would pack enough items to wait out nuclear fallout.3/4 of the crap we never even used.Just needed a pair of shorts & T and see ya in the tent when the sun went down with smores smeared all over our faces.Then up at the crack o'dawn to do it all over again! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif
We would come home so sunburned,tired & smelling of Bactine on Sunday evenings,that nobody wanted to unpack the car.
My parents saying to us all,"DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING INTO THAT HOUSE EMPTY HANDED!".
Awwww.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
