Wanted a '68' Camaro,my Dad said "no,you'll kill yourself".

I cruised the ave in a

Buick Nighthawk;)

The rear view mirror fell off,the door handles pulled off,the rear defog caught fire,the door panels fell off,those were fun times.

Sounds like a fine piece of automotive craftsmanship. Have you noticed that American cars from that era (roughly '75 to '85) simply do not exist anymore? Seeing one on the road nowadays is like seeing a ghost.

Buick Nighthawk

I knew a girl with one. Today it would make you a bit of money :)

My first vehicle was a 1949GMC pickup. It was the 5 window truck and I wish I still had it. I drove the crap out of that truck. When I went into the military it had a blue printed/balanced 327 with a 4 speed behind it and a camero rear end in it. It rattled and it clanked but it would go down the road. I had the biggest cadillac mufflers on it that I could find. It idled down the road quietly and I kept my foot out of it in town. It looked just like any other old rattle trap pickup but when I needed to I could get around the corner down the logging roads and out of sight in a big hurry. My favorite car was a 67 camero, 4 speed, 327 with a high rise topped off with a 6 pack. It was quicker than the truck. I put it together in 69 and that car would scream. I remodeled a 69 camero in 74 after Nam but I got stupid and totaled it.
I used to love driving muscle cars and pushing them to the max.

A friend traded his 67 Camaro for one of those Nighthawks. He ended up calling it “The Plastic Lemon.”

Me, I was stylin’ in a 66 Rambler American with the 199 cid straight six. It had a pedal on the floor to manually pump washer fluid. ...and it had been hit by a train, so it was kind of banana shaped.
