What was your daily driver in the mid 1960's - Page 2

I learned to drive in a 1960 Chevy Impala 4 dr 348/4 BBL/3 speed auto
Black with red benchseat interior. It had been my grandfathers but he
died about 6 months after buying it so my mom got it next. The year
was 1964. Oh also got to drive a early corvair 4 speed convert back
then too.

In 1965 I ordered a new1965 426 w/auto street wedge Belvedere 2 Plymouth. What a dog ! Ran at Aquasco, and Capitol mostly. Won several class trophies after changing the rear, added M/T headers and slicks I bought from JC Penny. In 1966-67 I spent a lot of time in a Huey UH 1 for Uncle Sam. Came back and bought a 66 Vette 327/350 HP and ran E/SP at Ohio Valley and US 60 in Kentucky. Won a few times there also.
P.S. Danny.....I remeber lots of good times in 1965 running with Sam Samuels, Bob Maxey, Joe Perzan, Mike Miatico, Gene Calhoon, Rocky Martin, "Pop" Kennedy, Gene Collins, Sonny Freeman, but of course they always beat me in the eliminator.....LOL.

Bought my first car, a '53 Ford Victoria in 1964 for $25.00. Went through a few other Ford's and Mopar's (as well as a 1960 Hillman Minx) during High School. My 1950 Ford Sedan scared my parents so much they refused to let me park it at home (think scenes from "Christine"!) They finally helped me purchase a 1966 360 HP SS396 Chevelle, which I kept until boot camp in 1967, when it was sold. I always wished I had grown up in the country so I could've kept more of the "collection"!

Now down to just five!
