What's interesting when you see a picture like this from what 1968 or 1969 is what cars survived. The only cars in this pic that are still seen regularly 50 years later are the mustangs, VW's and the Dodge Charger. The rest of the land yachts in this picture are long gone. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

Amazing how many station wagons in that shot. Likely none of those survived. Full size Chevrolet Impalas like the '62's in that picture still exist in large numbers at car shows today. Never have seen a Henry J in person however... _________________ 1974 "Restfalia" Camper 2000 cc EFI 2001-

Yeah, and those two Mopar wagon's next to each other, are rare hardtop wagon's. Not much cooler than a 4 dr. hardtop wagon! _________________ ---

I bought my Gulf Blue 63 in Orlando, Florida in '93. Would that be a kick if that was a pic of it in '68. |
