I remember graduating from high school and walking past the dealership in 1957. No way I could afford one( 7900 bucks). It was midnight blue, chromed up with a hood tachometer. Love at first sight! LOL. Now they are going for 80 grand in mint condition.
I never did get one, too busy later raising family and working my ass off.Now retired. Bow I want one. LOL.
8 grand was a lot of money back then! I’m sure the dealers were gouging.
