That’s a cool old photo I’d guess early 80s w that scoop but still
Has the old school Lakewood race bars on it. Keystones and the formula tires. Most items suggest 70s but not sure that scoop was that old. Be interesting to know the year of the picture . Could still be mid 70s I guess, didn’t remember that particular scoop being popular til early eighties, Either way great picture

Bought car December 1980, so this is around 1981-82. Guy sold me the car with two hoods so I would either run stock, run scoop, or sometimes just cruise with hood off. Had a tripower in the trunk in rough shape that I was never smart enough to figure out so was running a Carter 4BBL.

Loved those Formula 1 Super Stocks, great look but crap for wear so as a kid which ones did I buy?

Eventually swapped entire rear out for Chevelle 12-bolt 4.11 posi and then added full ladder bars in, those things were crazy solid.

Press technology hasn't changed much since that photo. Only in the last few years servo motors are driving the "ram" directly vs old the motor/flywheel technology. The real advancements have been in safety and automation (that's what I do) ,
The masses have no idea the number of things that they use every day that are made on a stamping press.

One of the Futureliners was restored on Bitchin Rides. My favorite series of theirs. Had to cost a fortune but it turned of very cool, IMO.

Wikipedia has a short history of the Futurliner buses, along with the current whereabouts of each one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Futurliner

There was one at Norwalk a few years ago. Could see inside of it. Pretty cool vehicle. Probably have some pics of it somewhere.

If you read that story it never mentions the word Bus because they are not busses.

It looks mostly like a bus from the outside, but maybe they were more of a limousine.
Will read the wiki article later on, Thanks
