When I was a kid we moved from Buffalo, NY to Nashville, TN in 1977. My older brother who was in HS would take me to Shoney's Big Boy on Friday nights right on the main drag. All the kids with the cool cars would cruise the parking lot, litterally cruise around and around in a big circle. It was the coolest thing.
The rarest thing I can actually remember seeing was a pair of Yenko Camaros. One blue one yellow. They were there EVERY weekend and we just sat and watched all the cars cruising. What a fond memory. My brother had a 69 maybe 70 GTX Hemi car but it was rough and needed work even though at that time the car was only 7-8 years old! My brother went into the Marines when he grad in 79, put the GTX in storage and ultimately abandoned it as he failed to keep mailing his payments for the storage place etc. He thinks of that car all the time and kicks himself like so many others...
