My highschool car around '89. This pic was taken after I got it running again after 10 years of sitting in my dad's garage. People don't believe me that peach was cool back then.

My first car back in 1985. T Bars, Rossi headlights, Toronado mirrors...
Looked much better after I threw the bumpers and side trim in the trash. Things were different then.

I remember the Lt. blue Billabong car with the manifold flipped around and the posts cut out of it.

Here's a class of '92 picture from back in the day with the cars we had at the moment. Mixedup59 in the top of the blue ragtop. I climbed the tree to take the picture, but that is my baby blue '68 with my buddy nick in the sunroof.

i would take a guess this was done about 1990. the breeze bumpers just came out and were popular and scalops where not very popular after then so i would guess 90 to 92 ish! :wink:

59 singlecab about 93 i guess .

:wink:

Here's a picture of my old 1957....Indian turquoise with pink perl (was sprayed on after this picture) and white window rubber :?

Used to have 55' only tail lights, prelude seats, and an unbelievable stereo system. Was stolen and stripped down completely, they just left the pan and shell.

I put it back together a decade later and now it lives in hawaii 8)

I always wonder if anyone has any pictures of it completed from an SF bay area show...1991 or 1992 :?:
