Just solder down that left turn signal, travel at 30mph in the slow lane of any interstate and you can join the rest of us retirees enjoying the journey Cosmo
I owned a ‘56 Chrysler, but I think my most favorite was the ‘58 - ‘59 Dodge 2 door tri-color. That baby looked like it was doing 80 just standing still.
Rolls-Royce Phantom two. 4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine, with Stromberg downdraft carburetor, can go from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in 12.5 seconds. And I even like the color.

Perhaps so, but I’ve always been partial to the ‘57 Chevy. Recently, someone parked a ‘50 Chevy in our parking lot. It actually looked like something out of the ‘40’s, but nice, never-the-less. Of course, I wasn’t even born yet to see these vehicles coming off the assembly line.

(Film and car buffs may know that the Sultan got the specs wrong in Indiana Jones III. But it’s a great line.)

Slick reply Shoe! You put your heart & sole into that comment!
I think it looks more like a late 50’s Chrysler.

BC13: My brother’s stock ‘57 De Soto took my friend’s beefed ‘57 Chevy AND my (beautiful candy-apple red with a 327 and 2 fours) 59 Impala.
(As you might have guessed, these were not exactly recent events.)
