Gettin' back to your roots.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72BlckButy · 05-16-2009, 11:17 PM

I have been meaning to post these pictures for
over a month or two now, but never had time.

One Saturday the wife and I jumped into the '69 to take a trip back to where it all began. We left the house and cruised to Hermann, MO on our way to Chamois, which is where the '69 was originally sold. I let my wife take control fo the camera and I think she came a with some unique shots. Anyway, enough talking it's time for some pics!

After editing this shot, it reminded me of an old GM advertisement with the picture color.

Unfortunately this old gas station was a little cluttered (trailers/cars...) so we couldn't get any better shots at this location. Better luck next time...
