My best friend father had saved to buy a new car. Was so proud of his 1955 Chevy. Then the '56 came out. I don't think the rage went away for a year. James Gardner was a shirtail relation per my aunt.
1963 bought '55 Chevy, $225. 1965 bought '57 Chevy convertible, $700. 1969 bought '56 sedan delivery, $400. If only I had kept them in a garage all this time.........in 1964 was offered '55 Chevy Nomad as an even swap for my '55. turned him down. In '66, bought '65 Corvette for $2500 and then cause I was in the Navy and only 20 years old, i couldn't get insurance for it, I had to sell it. However, I have had good luck with women. Married to a peach for 55 years next week.

All excellent. Reminds me of when I lost my retainer at KFC and we had to dig through the trash at KFC to find it.

DeleteTail fins. Ah, yes, I remember them well.

DeleteWeren't those ice creams called "Push-Ups"?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite from the ice cream truck was a "Big Missile".
Is that Rocky's GMC that James Garner is leaning against? I don't remember it having a winch.
Noah Beery Jr. was so great in that part.
BTW, I am LEGEND!
LEGEND Elmo, you and edutcher are walking encyclopedias.
Deletemy favorite was orange (sherbert) and vanilla push-up. Rocky's truck was red over white I think.
DeleteAnon, in the bar shape those were called the 50-50. We can still get them here with vanilla ice cream orange sherbet and are my grandson's favorite.
