A rescue story with a happy ending we hope. Love today's banner. I always loved the pure art and design of the salt flats stream liners. Functional rolling art. They look like space ships. I see this one was done by the Barris brothers.
Perhaps the owner never came back from Vietnam. I knew of 3 in my neighborhood that just sat in the backyard and rusted out, because Mom and Dad couldn't let the memories go.
Damn that is sad. It reminds me of the woman with a son that died in the Gulf War, and she kept is Mustang, and since it wouldn't run, some you Tube guy who wanted cool content went over and fixed up her Mustang in exchange for the videos he made of the renovation and restoration of her son's Mustang from dead to cool. But you had 3 in your neighborhood? Jeez that is sad.
Yeah well my "neighborhood" was was a 1 Mile square section of Fullerton Ca. there had to be 800 homes in there, that was as far as my friends and I could go at 10 yrs old...."don't cross the Big Streets with the double yellow lines". A 57 Chevy Bel Air sprayed Metallic Green,a Red 66 Dodge Cornet R/T and a Black '60 Starliner that we kids called the Batmobile. They guys all went to the same High School together, Scott the one with the 57 lived at the end of my street and all of his buddy's had the cool street racer cars, so I saw all the cars many times and Mom had a 66 Mustang so they were cool to us.
whoa, that is a trio of cool cars! And your mom had a 66 Stang! Very cool! My mom and her sister were tight, so I grew up close to her kids, for the fist 10 years of my life, and mynmom baby sat my cousins, and my aunt babysat me and my sister, so all 4 of us kids were playing all the time together, and she had a 67 Cougar, and a lead foot!
