Old Street Scenes

[SFalken]

LONG TIME LURKER, FIRST TIME POSTER. THANK YOU FOR THE BEST THREAD ON THE INTERNET. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!


Couldn't remember what the car behind my cousins and I is. Thought of a Biscayne, Fairlane, some species of Buick. But all I could really decide on was it's early 60's, my guess is 62??


My first cruise, spring 1966. I still drive this way.


My dad's truck, 1970.


1977. My first street-legal vehicle, a '77 Motobecane Mobylette. I took off the governor (making it no longer street-legal) and it could do 42 mph: for about 6 months anyway, then it gave up the ghost.


1979. My first car, a deathproof '66 Impala.


1982. I dodged a bullet here - or rather, a phone pole. This was my '75 Vega that had the heart of an iron duke and parts from 4 other cars.


1988. The Fiat 1800 Spyder is a lot of fun IF you can keep it running. I was a journeyman mechanic by the time I got rid of this '75 version.


1991. Obviously not a car, but this was my vehicle on Johnston Atoll for two years. The steering wheel is off a 1964 Chevy truck, as if you couldn't tell [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img]
