I had a '65 T bird the same color as the one in the video.
Plus one with the suicide doors.
I didn't like those.
My brother used to race a black Third with the port holes.
I think that was a '57.
The Chevy Super Sport with the 327 engine got left out, plus the 'Stangs.

My 1968 Barracuda's dashboard had a ledge in front of the shotgun seat that would securely hold a few cans of your favorite beverage...

DAMN, brings back memories. Hurrah for the days when innovation was all, because there was lots of market competition. Now people just buy what the powers that be tell us are "best and safest" for us, no matter how ugly (remember Volvo?). I think the 50s and 60s were a time of incredible innovation and hope. Plus....the CARS🌞🌞🌞🌞👍👍👍🎯

You used to be able to tell what was coming down the road.
Now they're practically all cookie cutter cars.

My dad had a 53? Or 55? Studebaker. It was actually a nice car, but ahead of it's time I think

I didn't know the company started with horse drawn wagons

It is.
I took screenshots of my brother's cars in his video from his funeral.
Now he was a çar guy.
Him and his wife were always restoring Mustangs.
Late one night, he had one that had a leaky trunk.
He was determined to find the leak.
He's in the trunk and his wife has a water hose spraying water on it.
Some guy drove down the alley and he kept coming slower and slower and watching.
My sister in law finally said, that's enough.
Get out of there. Some guy keeps circling back here.
My brother was a perfectionist and so are his wife and kids.
Man, I miss him.

The 62 Chrysler 300 that I had....had beautiful red leather bucket seats and a very spacious back seat. My girl friend and I could slip between the bucket seats and back onto the back seat for.......... ya know. Today I would get stuck between the bucket seats. On a warm day with the windows rolled up the leather upholstery really smelled good.
