Cool pics Hunter98TA! Love the Duster! I see many photos of girls sitting on cars back in the day, and I often wonder how many times the rivets on their jeans scratched the heck out the paint.


Here's a 1965 Pontiac showroom pic:

Didn't happen at my house.

My (then future) wife set a McDonalds cup on top of the Chevelle on our first date. I yelled at her and she was abit taken aback. She's never forgotten it and it still comes up on occasion. Seems to have turned out ok, though, since that was 36 years ago.

I was probably 40 before I realized you could touch the exterior of a car with your bare hand and not cause it to crumple into a pile of paint chips. Probably about the same time I realized I could touch the thermostat and get away with it.

(lol)

I was shocked she did that. It was her pride and joy. There was not a nick or scratch on it. She had the "340" decals but never put them on. She washed it every other day and scrubbed the tires so much she wore the white letters off before the tread!!! It did have a problem that at the time we could never correct. It lost too much vacuum at low RPM and she would lose the PB and it would stall.
