Re: Vintage picture thread
How old were you in that picture? I was 20 when I bought my truck in 1987.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Is that a vinyl top on that GMC in the last post or just black paint?

Re: Vintage picture thread
Back in the day (If I remember correctly) there was an advertisement for BB CST’s that read:
120MPH and still bring home the groceries. Does anyone remember this? Thanks, Jake |

Re: Vintage picture thread
My Mom's first car, the reason she looks so bummed is it always broke down, YES it's a Ford. And my first car, bought in 1968 for $275.00 and my Dad said I got ripped off.

Re: Vintage picture thread
So cool. To think what either of those would be worth now, even if they were rusted out.

We gave $350.00 for it. This is the "Land of Opportunity" you know. Who's 62 in the background? We have 62 SS convertible now.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Wow, a drop top, NICE. The 62 SS pictured belonged to the Dewale family, neighbors that's their house behind it. Custom built homes in that area (Wheat Ridge, Colorado) were really expensive back then around $25,000.00

Re: Vintage picture thread
I searched "vintage pictures", found this cool thread! I don't have any Custom series, but have a few Advanced Design to get scanned; and many 1957 Chevy wagon, Ford pickup (I'm sure nobody wants to see his pickup parked on the rim of the Grand Canyon), that don't fit in this forum.
Oh what the heck, here is my dad's father's Dodge pickup at the South Rim entrance to some park. ![]()

Re: Vintage picture thread
This was my dad's father's brand new 1957 Chevrolet Handyman wagon. I always loved riding along when we visited. Just before I got old enough to drive, he traded it for a 1972 Chevy (Isuzu) LUV pickup, which I used for awhile, and it was a P.O.S.
