What was your daily driver in the mid 1960's

[Dan Lattimore]

My boss just told me I can't quit so I'm killin a few minutes on the computor. Just curious about what your daily driver was in say 1966. Cool stuff that we all took for granted because bad *** cars were everywhere. I worked for Bendall Pontiac in the 60's as a line mechanic specializing in all the performance stuff, all the old guys hated them and I had em stacked up like cordwood. Motors, transmissions, rear ends and theft jobs. Every Monday I would get a fresh batch with shoe polish on the windows. ------------My daily driver was a 66 442 W30 black post sedan rubber floor mat (widowmaker) My wife----Red on black 64 Catalina 2+2 421 tripower 4speed. My Mom--- 66 Bonneville 4 dr. 421 tripower auto loaded. My Pop ----37 Packard Conv. with rumble seat 322 buick V8 two AFB's Packard box and 4.30 rear. Ok all you old farts , stick a beach boys tape in hit the reverb switch and jog that memory. I'm fixin another Vodka and Cranberry juice.

1961 Falcon, oh yea, I turned that into an L/Stock, a1963 Falcon Sprint, that I ran in J/Stock, a 1966 Falcon, oops G/SA, I think I see a trend emerging. Because of car payments (gave the finance companies fits) I drove first a 54 Buick Special ($75) and a 56 Buick Century Wagon, I sold that to Tony Janes and finally a 1969 Chev 4 x 4 pickup. I guess my priorities were racing, now that I think about it. Fred

1966 my uncle bought a '67 Le mans.He gave me his '60 four door Catalina 389/2bbl auto.I put dual exh. with pipes under the rear out the back and 8:25 thin whitewalls with baby moons.Put all sorts of racing decals on the rear door glass.It was stock engine wise but it sure left from a stop light with the Turbo Hydramatic trans.I parked this car,and a '55
Chevy,'56 Chevy 2 dr S/W and '57 Chevy Nomad with a straight axle (red and white paint and red and white r&p interior) on the streets of Greenwich Village in Manhattan back then.Try that now.

Hey I was trying! This was factory stock in 66. I don't know where the transistor radio was in this photo, but it was tuned to "Little Deuce Coupe" I'm sure!

In 1966 my daily driver was a blue metallic 1966 Pontiac Catalina coupe [389 2 bbl auto] that I had purchased with both quarter panels damaged & repaired. Drove it to Galveston Tx on vacation. My drag race driver was a 1966 GTO purchased as a theft recovery [no motor or trans] installed a 389 4 bbl & turbohydro for F-2 BS/A [N.A.D.S. rules] Only got to race it a couple of times at Tri-State Dragway, Kahoka, MO before I received the letter from Uncle Sam. Later that year my daily driver became a 5-ton dump truck around Long Binh, Saigon & the Iron Triangle at Xmas.
