My first real car:

A 1957 Chevy.

My first car in HS that me and my brother shared: A 1928 Model A!:)

The chevy was a much nicer car.It is a shame that company with so much history allowed itself to be taken over by the Bozo!

Ok, that looks like a 1954(or there abouts)Oldsmobile. I was riding in one, my brother and two other friends with me plus the driver, in 1956 when the driver took a corner, in the rain with bald tires, just a mite too fast. We did a 275 and hit a barbed wire fence, rolled down a hill until the driver actually put on the brakes at his little brothers insistance.

No one was hurt, except the car and the driver's father!

Oh, the good old days!

Yes. I noticed some images on pages here not loading properly today. I hit reload a couple of times and it finally seemed to catch up. No doubt our graphics-heavy posts are contributing to the difficulty.

...If Congress ran FR, it would be ‘better’... there would undoubtedly be ‘band-width rationing’ (text only for most of us), with only ‘pretty’ stuff like yours, being allowed, except on Tuesday nights, after 11:30PM, and even then, for one half hour only.

In some respects you are correct, if you include mass produced cars for the average person.

They are producing autos in Europe that will get your motor running though. A *high-end* case in point.
