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...

I had a 62 Chrysler 300 that I really liked.
When they knew how to build cars!
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 CARSππππππππ―

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

It is.
I took screenshots of my brother's cars in his video from his funeral.
Now he was a Γ§ar 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.
