Aaronw Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Well to follow the others theme I was 2 when this thing rolled off the assembly line Since you would have to be a big fan of the Iron Pig to really get the year, I'll give you a hint, the truck is almost a 70 (and its not a JEEP!!!!! :twisted: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbackfiero Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 If anyone is around Johnstown PA, I was born in 1977, one of our many floods! This Saturday I will turn 29! still under 30 though! I don't know of any cool cars that came out in 77' but I was 7 when my beloved Fiero was introduced and 10 when the one I own was out.

Ronster Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 The car year, not the model year: And if i could do it right, there would be a 57 nomad below. shucks (THANKS BOB!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 The car year, not the model year: And if i could do it right, there would be a 57 nomad below. shucks (looks ok to me!) Hmmm...I took some numbers away after .jpg and let's see if it works... Hey it does! Guess what, trivia time...that photo was done with an old-school photo trick; at the last minute they had to change the wheels to match what was in the kit, the chrome wheels are actually from a B&W photo and applied to the color photo.

Guest zebm1 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Well at least I don't feel like such an old fart anymore. I was born into SAC when it first started under General "Bomb 'em back to tha Stone Age" Curtis LeMay. Ah SAC stands for Strategic Air Command. I've got models, that I've had that are way older than Lyle's socks....a AMT Jr. Trophy Series Chevy Wagon in tha box for instance. Haven't yet figgered out how to import any pics into here, so I'll leave yall this website I found instead......<http://www.thevintageracer.com/historians_corner.htm>..... lots of really kool photo albums of period race cars......how old am I, I'll be 58 next January. I buy them to build them, but I'm so far behind that God will never let me die. Enjoy life, it's all we've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Thanx for tha welcome son, ya know ifn yu were to invert that W Jairus, we culd be cuzins. :wink: Now to finger out how yall's site werks.......Hawaii became a state? hmmmmm wasn't that tha year JFK was elected? :roll: Zeb You mean when Hawai`i was FORCED to become part of the United States? (sense any resentment here?) Heh, lived here for over forty years, I'm entitled, right? Wait till I finish my book on it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hawaii became a state? hmmmmm wasn't that tha year JFK was elected? If I recall correctly, Hawai'i became the 50th state in 1959. JFK was elected in 1960. Gregg: I'd be very interested in such a book, since we have a similar situation... Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zebm1 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hey Gregg, we almost became neighbors. Back in 1962, when my Dad retired from tha Chair Force my Mom desparately wanted to retire to Hawaii. Seems she saw this movie called "Blue Hawaii". I remember my Dad saying that he'd already been there and beside Elvis didn't live there - we're going to Tampa. T'was tha beginning of tha ending of thet marriage. BTW Gregg how much does land go for these days, they dividing it up into square inches now? I seem to remember my Dad saying it was $100/square foot back then.
