1940 Plymouth Pickup
Bruce Springsteen...didn’t need
the link. I love hot rods. Building
one now. 1940 Plymouth Pickup.
Custom tube chassis, 446 cid
Mopar muscle. I love the look
of mid 60’s early 70’s. Car shows
are where the wares are exhibited
these days. Still got my
girlfriend by my side, though.
I was five when Mcdonalds burst
on the scene. Hamburgers 10 for
a buck.
Sounds like it’s going to be a nice build. My family was one of those with an unfortunate history of selling good cars before they were known to be classics. Dad had a hardtop Ford Skyliner. Mom had a ‘57 ‘bird; Black, Corinthian White interior with the Conti kit. We had a ‘63 Fairlane, a ‘69 Torino GT, 351 Windsor, vinyl top, shaker hood... Mom’s folks had a ‘59 Caddy Eldorado a mile or so long. Dad’s drove a ‘67 Skylark.
Every one of those cars was sold off. The Torino was replaced by a ‘78 Olds Cutlass Salon; kind of a weird fastback model.
I’ve got hold of a ‘63 Impala 4-door hardtop in decent shape, but need of thorough weatherization around the big glass, doors, and trunk. Somebody welded a new top on it & the A-pillars are showing hairline cracks. I think I’m in for quite a time of it.
