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.
Sorry for the delayed response.
I needed a break from all that’s
going on today.
Your reply got me to thinking
how many vehicles I’ve owned
since I started driving. That
total comes to 26. The one I’ve
owned the longest is a CJ7
Golden Eagle. I’ve been driving
it for 40 years. If I had a few
of my previous, I could easily
retire. Vehicles have always ment
more to me than just something
that gets you from here to there.
American muscle. AMC, Mopar, Ford,
Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac. All
hold a place in history and heart.
