My mother standing by a 69 Dodge Super Bee. My father loved that car. I remember telling him to *dig a hole Daddy*. My way of telling him to do a burn-out!

Was curious so I did a little Google maps investigating... the Bret Harte Inn is now a retirement home. It amazes me how similar the block still looks.

Re: Vintage picture thread

I put together a photo album for our hunting camp in Northern PA and thought these couple were appropriate for this thread. Original camp was built in 1950, burned in 1990 (arson) and rebuilt.

Re: Vintage picture thread

Here's my Dad's 64 he had before I was born. He always says that truck was the real reason my mother was attracted to him. (In case the hair and bell bottoms weren't enough)
He said he lent it to his little brother once and forgot to tell him to keep an eye on the oil and it ended up with a siezed motor. (Straight 6) So they took the cylinder head off, put a bunch of oil or grease in the cylinders and pulled the truck down the road, popped the clutch and un-siezed the motor! He said it ran just fine after that. These pictures were in our family album as long as I can remember and I remember always flipping the album open to these two pictures just to look at the truck. I always thought this body style was super mean looking and I was hooked!
