...there will NEVER be another time like the late sixties, the cars were hot, the music was hot and the girls were younger
...our town had a major cruise strip that lasted for decades, people came from other towns and from outta state, nothing like it anywhere else I ever saw...there were AAR Cudas on the street, T/A Challengers, a couple of Superbirds and Daytonas plus tons of other Ebody and Bbodys (this was a Chrysler town)...numerous HEMI Cars and Six Pack "Lift Off Hood" cars......GTOs were EVERYWHERE,(even a Judge) along with, Chevelles, a ZL1 Camaro, a Nickey Chevelle etc etc.....there were 3 69 Hurst olds in town, a BOSS 429 and numerous other Mach 1 and Boss Mustangs....it was like "American Graffiti" every weekend...it just ended a few years ago, victim of repairs to the road that had it torn up for 2 years....cruising just never came back....I spent my time as a kid cruising in a 68 GTO conv and a 69 Chevelle conv....thought I was "KING OF THE STREET".....great times for sure, glad I was around then, but it sux gettin old
...pictured, me and my first new car, 68 GTO, 400 4spd...cruised it to death.....my second new car, 69 Chevelle 396/375 4spd....neither car survived the sixties....the GTO was torn in half by the next owner, and the Chevelle was spotted by a friend of mine in the stax of crushed cars at a local junk yard in 1971, no idea what happen to put it there
....great times for sure
