My Impala had an interesting option, once you started the car you could take the key out and it would continue to run. The idea was to make it convienent if you needed to get out of the car and unlock the trunk or the house. It did not go over very well due to the number of cars stolen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It was different - I'll give it that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My first car was a 1959 VW Karmen Ghia. It had an 1192cc 36 HP air-cooled engine and a 6 volt electrical system. I parked it on hills and push started it when the battery couldn't crank it. Amazingly, it could eventually get up to over 80 mph on the motorway in England. Cost me $200 in 1969. The Brit gals loved it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now, my second car was a 89 Chrysler Lebaron convertable, I was in love with it cause it was a convertable, but that car was such a POS, nothing but problems, I hope the people who designed that car have a special place set aside for them, Merrrrrrrr. anyways, had to get that off my chest. Side note, should have listen to my parents and not bought it, but of course, I knew better

Hi Guys,

My first car was a 70 Chevy Chevelle station wagon with a 350 engine. It was the family car and had gone across country a few times and would always tow our fishing boat up to northern Ontario. It was a huge car with bench seats, four headlights and an AM radio. Lots of good times traveling in it.

That was a hot little car, Interesting that I have taken 3 different Toyotas to 250,000 miles and none of them ever took me for ride ...like whats going on <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

That is so cool. A friend of mine from Scottland had the same car and all he talked about was the babe attration that car had. He also shared how he could easily get it stuck down on the beach...it was better than saying he ran out of gas <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

My next car was a 64' Cadillac Sedan deVille that had been broad-sided. It would reach 110 and glide over the road - a sweet ride! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

As you discribed the car I got that image of Chevy Chase and his station wagon he took on vacation in Summer Vacation

My fav car of all time was teh 68 Chevelle. Jerry and I fixed one up that had a 327 and we got more than 450 hourses at the rear end ...it was a screammer

I got three "birds" in it once and ran into a Rover TC 2000 on a roundabout. My vision was obscured by legs, I think. Chunks of body rust fell from my car, but the Rover was unscathed. So we continued on to the party at pub in Ipswich.

Sounds like quite a car Dan. Those 327's were sweet motors.

and how many time did you get over 110? ....LOL
