Jeweler, I enjoyed your 50s and 60s memories. Don't forget, in the 60s cars, the Avanti. First time I ever went 130 miles per hour was in a 1963 Avanti. I was not the driver, and could see the speedometer went to 160 mph. I wanted out of the car at 130 mph. I now have an Avanti, a 1963, and about 50 mph is my max. these days.
I had a ‘69 El Camino SS 396, four speed. Other than my wasted youth, selling it is still one of my greater regrets. Wasting my youth on cars, girls and cold beer is forgivable but selling that ride for a newer Camaro was like trading a classic double for a 1100. Big mistake only understood to many years later.
