They were still sporting the wooden spoked wheels back then right?

I was driving an ancient ‘63 Mercury Monterey Breezeway whose back glass was stuck in the down position. I was embarrassed at the time but wish I had it now!

It was very nice with power everything, bucket seats and an 8-track. Leather steering wheel.
Firestone Wide Ovals and wire hubcaps.

Those were great for hot days. Really nice airflow. The wind wings helped too.

'71 Cutlass S

Not the SS... No, the S stood for Senior Citizen Edition.
Two door with factory 8-Track, fake wood dash and fake wood door accents.

I wanted a Buick Riviera 455 and even though I was paying (no way was my old man buying me a car)dad said, "no, you'll kill yourself." He was probably right. The Cutlass darn near did a few times.

@Puff nstuff snatch up all the GH and germains that you can get your hands on. Ship it to me and I'll make sure to forward a fair percentage to you when you get back stateside
