some very cool old assembly line photos

These old photos really bring a smile and cause me to wax nostalgic.

Those of us who came up Hot Rodding during the 60's [my age is 63] did not realize what we had.

No one had any wildest idea of today's value.

I began working at the local Chevrolet dealer in 1963. Did warranty work on all the 60's muscle cars. "Test" drove all the desirable models, built Hot Rods with cast off "warranty" parts!

Built, raced and won with basically factory parts. Even held the C/Gas and D/Gas records under the old AHRA formula rules. [Green Valley Raceway near Forth Worth TX 1966 - 1968]

The local used car lots always had good race car "cores" on hand. I once did not buy a 57 Chevy with a bad transmission because the door class was cracked! I could believe the dealer wanted $125.00 for a car with a broken door class.
