Heck, they were cool, back in the day!!!! '59 Chevy Impala..
Pa bought a used one back in about 1964. I promptly took it out that night, picked up a girl at the teen club, got it on a flat straight two lane blacktop, the mighty 283 got up to 115 before it ran out of wind. Made a U turn, it stalled and would not start. We walked about a mile so and found a house with a phone. Called Pa.
Pa wanted to know what we were doing way out there. And I learned how to start a Chevy with a screwdriver on the starter.


I just recalled seeing TV commercials with a person with a sledge hammer having his way with the rubber front bumper on a '72 Goat
