when I was 17, my brother and I worked for a landscaper. The owner needed a new pickup truck and we went with him and I talked him into buying a new 1970 Ford ranchero(Torino) on the lot with a 428 cobra Jet and 4 speed,
Damn ,I loved that thing

I spotted this Courier in Kenton on Wednesday evening. I can't remember the last time I saw a running Courier. The Camaro looked like an 80's street machine right out of Car Craft magazine. It was starting to show the years since it was put together, but that made it even cooler to me.

Cool ‘65 dragster at a show last weekend! Last time raced was in 1969. He fired it up for the crowd, very cool! Chest thumping sound!

Was stored in a barn for 40 years, he rebuilt motor and just does shows now. Said it’d do about 220 mph! Can’t imagine being in that seat!

I passed a couple of Corvair's that were probably going to a show as they were all traveling separately but in the same direction a week ago Friday, managed to get a picture of this nice looking 1st gen Convertible. just south of Flint MI.
It was raining pretty hard here most of the day.

A nice Oldsmobile and an excellent GMC. Unlike the Corvair above there was no reason that Olds should have the top up. It was a perfect day for top down driving.
