Now that is PRETTY!! My cousin had one exactly like it. We got 5 or 6 of us in the trunk and 7 inside for the $1 night at the drive-in. You could get in with a car full for only a buck on certain nights. Brings back memories!!
Want to sell the 64 El Camino? I always wanted one! Got the 283 or the 327 in it. I think in later years (66-67) it came with a 396. A friend had one that had a 348 in it but I don't know what year that was.

All you guys could make it to a lot of the yearly shows if you'd want to. Makes for a peaceful 4 or 5 days to sit and visit with the family on here. After all, your life isn't over, just taking a train siding or a different fork in the road. Life is precious and so are all the family and friends on here. Seek them out and have a ball. WTH, we don't have all the time in the world. Me, I'd buy a smaller camper and just take off. Sell the house to the kids, give the farm to the son (he's the only one that wants it) and travel. So I'll be visiting as many of you as I can fit in in a lifetime. You can run, but you can't hide.

Ted if it comes to that, don’t forget to swing through Michigan.

The 57 doesn't have a paxton has a 312 holly four barrel auto. That continental on the 52 was an accessory sold by ford dealers in 52 and 53 don't see many of them.

Joe I don't think you would like it here very much now cause the temp is 11 degrees supposed to be like the next couple weeks and it gets cold at night, I thought I may make it to the land of enchantment one of these days cause my daughter lives in Magdalena but she just retired and says she is selling out and coming back to Michigan.

Dang, Gordy,,,She's leaving beautiful Magdalena to go to the freezer country,,,BRRrrrrrr. Magdalena people are some of the most Friendly people I've ever met. We went thru there on the way to some Elk Hunting country farther west from Magdalena and we were pulled over as a Fuel filter had stopped up on the boy's trk and an older fellow stopped and offered help to get us going. He offered us a used filter that he had "saved" from his trk as he said it was still good,,,, We put it in and the trk started right up!!!! I felt good about the older fellow as there were several other people that drove by Honked at the old timer,,and him smiling alla the time,, Friendly people for sure,,,,,
