If I had the money I went for the $0.19/gal “Panther Juice” for our 1958 Buick Invitva Wagon with the 400+ cubic inch Super Wildcat engine. It’s been so long I can’t remember the exact enigine size or what it was called but it might have been 455 CI with a HUGE Carter 4 bbl carb.

Fins on the back and the front. If...IF I hit 55mph the fins on the front would flap.

Dad finally traded it for a 67 Mustang convertible to satisfy mom, and me.

The ‘stang was great and a chick magnet but I miss the Buick land yacht!

We had a ‘64 Olds Vista Cruiser wagon with a 330 high horsepower V8. It REQUIRED “premium”. It was a nice wagon; replaced a fifty-something Rambler with pushbutton auto tranny.

Every other Saturday we’d drive in to Denver and get gas in the guzzler and in several 5 gallon cans.

Those were the old days, mostly good.

We never got no Mustang convertible like you, you lucky dog.
