Settle down people... it's fixed!! :lol:

I see you got the french version of the CN tower in there, but where's the girl? If that's her in the car with you, well that's alright then. We can live with it.

She wouldn't fit in that car!

Well I didn't expect it to be the same girl, but now that you mention it.....you're right. It MUST be a different girl.

I'm afraid that girl wasn't conceived yet then.... photoshop came in later, and so did silicone. :shock:

Y'know, there's an outfit here called Silicon Valley Facials. And another one called Full Rack Entertainment. What ARE the odds? :shock:

I've had several classic cars and trucks over the years. This is one I've got now. A '66 coupe Deville.

It is indeed a Cadillac and it's an old cliche, but they really don't make 'em like that anymore! :wink:

My tastes have evolved to the point that I think they look naked without the longhhorns on the hood. Oh, and pistol door handles are the over the top finishing detail

My teenage years:

WOW... still got that one? TC or TD?

That's a TF for sure. And while red is an acceptable colour for the TF (it was made for the US market after the TD was such a roaring success over here), only British Racing Green is appropriate for the earlier ones. My first car was lent to me by a friend when he went north to work on a dam project for 18 months:

Not in the same shape as this one, but still a wonderful little car.

My second car was a little bit sideways from the MG. I was then a working cowboy at the Douglas Lake Cattle Company in the interior of British Columbia (yes, Texans, it's bigger than any ranch in Texas). When I turned up at cow camp in this 1969 VW pickup, the other guys thought I'd lost my mind:

That was until I left them behind, high-centred or just bogged down in their Fords/Mercuries/GMs/Chevys, etc. The only vehicle that could go places I couldn't was a Dodge Power Wagon. Mind you, I did have a little difficulty keeping up on hills on the highway. I think thi may have been the most simply utilitarian vehicle ever built.

That's too cool!! I always wanted one of those. And a VW Thing, too...

Great story, Jeff & I love the Willys! Hmmm, Willys PU + 327... was it possible to leave a light without leaving a portion of your tires behind?

I've had several classic cars and trucks over the years. This is one I've got now. A '66 coupe Deville.

Niiiiice ride 'moony. I had a '71 Coupe that I bought for 75 bucks around 1982. It wouldn't run and had 4 bald tires, 102,000 on the odometer. Dragged it home and replaced the distributor cap and rotor and she fired right up. Put some new rubber on it and drove it for 70,000 miles. Took it to western Montana once, by way of Las Vegas. Ran it 85-90 all day long, used a bit of gas but she ran like a dream. Two tons of Detroit iron with 472 cubic inches of locomotion, life was grand.

... Here ya go John (or anybody who's never seen one):

... and the pic I posted on page 1 of this thread (we may have to ask Bluesy how many pages this one will run :wink: ) Sort of a Gentleman's GTO

Barret-Jackson moved a '57 Golden Hawk last night for $108 grand. Wonder what a '63 like that would bring.... :roll:

Dunno Al; probably big money ... the pic below supposed to be the last Studebaker ... made in 1966 near Graham's house in Hamilton Canuckistan.
