Carmel Ford - Drake Viscome

They toyed with some potent cars.

There was a kid in Patterson {who's parents owned a Well Drilling Company} that had
a 'black' 1966 Chevelle with Ansen Wheels and with a 'tricked up' 427.

That Chevelle was a runner, and was 'The One' in the Carmel area.

It ran 11.70's at Dover Drag Strip, and was street-driven in 1972/1973 or so.

"Carmel Ford"? Funny, but I don't even remember a Ford dealership at all. There was the Chrysler/Plymouth dealership on Rte 6 down by the strip-mall and the little Chevy dealership by the county court house, but I simply don't remember where the Ford dealership was.

I don't really recall the black '66 Chevelle but I remember the "well-drilling" family as they had a younger son around my age or a little older. They lived near the intersection of Rte 311 and Rte 292 in Patterson.

Patterson was were Sal and his '70 LS6 Chevelle were from. His family opened and operated one of the first pizzerias in Patterson over on Rte 22 just south of where Rte 311 intersected with it.

Small world. Kind of cool hearing this kind of stuff all these years later from a chance encounter on an internet forum. I like surprises like this! :smilebox:
