Car show question

Well, high school for me was late 70s and early 80s,

Damn youngster...I was in high school mid-late 70s (now some REAL old fart is gonna tell me to get off their lawn...). I went to the "affluent" high school here. Lots of new stuff with scatterings of old stuff. Friend of mine had a Commando/4sp '67 Barracuda with side pipes. Pipes were gone when I saw the car again in 1984. The BEST row of cars was at a high school across town, topped by a friend of mine with a black '55 Chevy (perhaps the hottest high school car in town at the time - last time I saw him he still had it). One of my favorite teachers had a '65 four speed Corvette that he drove daily, all of a mile from school...
