In the 70's my Dad bought 50's and 60's cars at farm sales for us kids to drive. He never paid more than a hundred dollars - and always w/a warning (mostly on 60's cars) This car will go very fast but you don't need to test it. Call me if you get stranded somewhere (this happened - hey $100.) . Sigh...all this before cell phones. I walked a few miles in my youth. My favorite was a square white Mercury w/red and white interior from the 60's. It lasted thru my college and had many fun roadtrips. Would love to own it now.
I really like the 1966 Impala SS, thanks for sharing

Wish my Dad still had his 59' ?( I think) Chevrolet Biscayne. It had the awesome fins with the cat eye tail lights. Spent many evenings in that car as a kid with my brother going to the local drive in movie theater. He made a removable platform to fill the floor space so we had a full bed in back. Good times !
Thanks for the great comment mike!!!post it!
