And history seems to repeat itself all these years later for the same reasons.

Maybe part of the story...

Self-Driving Cars Were Just Around the Corner—in 1960

.
....Like on the old show " Laugh In ", the german solder that peeked out of the bushes and would say " Very Interesting "

Nice wagon...

 

[XFIRE82]

....That is a rare Yeoman 2 door wagon. nice neighborhood. The 59 ford looks like gotta ding in the back fender just above the bumper. And of all things a 61 Valiant up in the driveway.

A custom 58 for you...

 

[XFIRE82]

I seen that 58 before, very cool car , back in 62 that was a show stopper. And he has a bunch of 58's in that garage,.....uhh , kinda reminds me of me !!! Don't think that lacquer paint job would of lasted that long up here.

NHRA wagon, think that is Tex Smith sitting on the hood...

 

[XFIRE82]

Never heard of Tex, but I like his 6 cyl Moon Disc ride. One piece front bumper tells me that is a California built car.

Tex Smith wrote a lot of automotive performance books. Not sure if he was actually working for NHRA at the time or not.

A pile of despair...

 

[XFIRE82]

.....ahhh, a 47 , 53 , couple of 57's , 2 58 V8 sedans , a 59 wagon , a 60 sedan, a 63 and more , no rust cars that went early to Chevy Heaven. .

 

[Jeremiad]

Wow! I think the desparity is on our part, because those cars do indeed look rust free and clean. That is a big pile of shame.

 

[Black 03 Z06]

Long before the pile of despair...

Wonder if the man was doing odds and ends on cars that had a flaw or if that was his job all day putting the rocker molding on ? if so his knees must be shot. I see one park light is on either just happen to checking signal lights exactly or one park is not working. The car behind has one headlight on but can't tell the other side 4sure cause the trunk lid is open on the Impala. Wonder what is on the window sticker ....things to add ? This Impala has a rare underhood insulation pad, I have only seen one in all the cars I had. I have had dozens of 58 chevs and pontiacs and have never found a build sheet.

The ladies seem quite concerned that this 58 will start again...

 

[XFIRE82]

....maybe that is where he hid the booze ?

58's on vacation...

 

[Black 03 Z06]

Simpler times at the drag strip...a couple of 58's have a go at it...

 

[XFIRE82]

Looks like the BelAir has the jump on the Impala. The Impala has dual exhaust so has a 4 bbl carb or tripower. The vacation pics are amazing. Food must be good at the Buffalo Cafe , notice the Buffalo sign with Station Cafe written on it ?? Is that a train car behind the gas pumps ? tracks so close to the service station ? might be the engine seen in the background just over the 2 58's ???

Gotta be careful doing that. Those Mexican sewer rats are about that size too.... lol
