Yeah the photo was just this link: s-l1200.jpg, but then I clicked on it and then zoomed in and behold, there was a '63 Olds👍.

Yeah I thought that was such a cool idea; a truck with fins. Also the front end look of the '57 was a one year thing; they got a little ugly in '58-'60. But then the '61 Sweptlines came out and those looked pretty cool. I noticed that gen is your favourite. Ever hear of the "Dude" package?

Awesome thread idea; Most fav truck o' mine is the '57 Sweptside Dodges

and ride away

full of bears

Yeah, my main concern was maneuverability with those 20 footers; but most dudes been sayin' it's like second nature after a week or so. P.S. the photo there don't seem to be showin' up

Oh yeah, fully aware of the thirst these barges need quenched

I agree with this statement

Been seeing some winter beaters about, namely late 70s to 80s chev trucks, most unusual the other day was a 1981-ish VW rabbit pickup

"mean something that is valued because it has a traditional style" Is what comes up; makes sense for old cars I'd say; they are of value, because of the many traditional features found in the cars, that aren't used today. Apparently once something is 20 years old it is "Classic", don't think that really works, i'd say 1920-1990 is classic. 1920 down is just really old

Yeah, everyone at the college says our program is the best one you could take; in fact the daycare across the street from the college was supposed to be just for the "School of Natural Environment" programs, so we wouldn't even step foot in the actual college all that much. But it's a daycare so obviously that didn't happen. Would've been cool though.

This far, another awesome day, no sun and snowing, but we did Snowmobile practical this morning, and that was loads of fun. Test drove four different sleds multiple times, just haven’ a blast. The track was a figure 8 but there were nasty bumps in certain areas but it made the rounds more fun. The college has like a bush area for our program so in the middle of the bush there was an open field and that was where the track was.

Today was an exceptional day, my day off from school is every Tuesday, sun was out all 3 times so far, but today was a little bit different. Saw the strangest rainbow this morning, straight up and down, and in the centre was almost another sun but less bright. Afternoon went in the bush as there is a gully back there and sled down it for half an hour. Busy day tomorrow though, but today was one of those good days.

Yeah I was gonna say, it seems like back in the day dudes worked on cars like it was goin' outta style (which with new cars it kinda did). Like they did it to soup it up and make the car run faster, i.e. drag racing, or even just customizing for the street machine scene. Nothing like that today except for the VW golfs around here with the pop can exhaust. Even hot rods for example, no one hops up their grandma's 2007 Kia Spectra like they would a '31 Ford back in the day. For instance, my other Great uncle's '31. Not his anymore but still here. Built in '60-'62, sold in '65, dormant in garage since '70, brought out over ten years ago, kept original and still shows what kids did back in the day. Kinda hard to do stuff like that with the newer cars, because of how mechanically complex every single car is today.

Another check in the the box for classic cars; Simplicity. Cars today are too complicated.

I should also add another 1973 hit, Hocus Pocus, by the band, Focus. Mostly instrumental except for the obscure yodeling and other human sounds, but in that sense the human voice is used instrumentally, i.e. no words, just sounds. Pretty crazy yodeling though.

Heard one on the radio the other day, Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group, 1973, I believe. The part near the end blew my actual mind with those electric sounds as the way they came through the speakers of the truck was crazy; unlike anything i've ever heard before, around 3:18 it starts, sounds kinda like some space ship thing. The sax part is pretty groovy too.

Sounds like you have quite the collection; I hope to have a bunch one day, too. If you would like to share the rest of your cars, feel free to do so; we'd love to see them. I have a list of cars I want also, started with a 1959 Cadillac, added a 1960 Plymouth, and now there's at least 20 or so I should want to find.

Just showed up now; may have not loaded on my screen the first time. Really nice Ford glass top; love the '57 too

Found the pic I was reffering to in this quote above. Cropped it out of the whole photo. Pretty sure it's a Caddy, could be wrong though.

Awesome ride; gotta love those chop top Mercs. P.S. the other two photos don't seem to appear

I also like the '61 Dodge; the front end is cool and I like the reverse style fins

JUDGE! the Special Great One, from Pontiac, GTO

on that Buick

Seats in cars back then were cool; like bench seat for example, no new cars have them but they're pretty convenient for sitting three in a row.
