Old Car

[AndyM]

Sorry to say I no longer have the Convertible.

You still have the 1950 Chevy?
I'll have to check it out some time when I'm in the neighborhood!
Let me know!

I'd like to find a 1960's Studebaker to restore in the spring...

Hi LB!

“Who belongs to these” was the right question considering the work involved! I’ve had the E-Type since 1978 and just finished it’s second restoration. The Cobra is a 1966 427 replica I built and continue to modify as the years progress. With a dyno reading of 497 HP in a car that weights just over 2,300 pounds….it’s more like an earthbound rocket than a car. Of course, the bride and I just like to “put-put” past pimple faced kids on our Sunday rides. Yep, this old age retirement stuff is OK!

Congrats._Nice looking RED cars !

I don't have the 1960 convertible for you, but I'd like to see the 1950 Chevrolet...
I'll be over tomorrow afternoon!

I remember seeing a remarkably similar car this fall, might have been somewhere around Derby. There can't be two of those out and about.

Hi!

Amazing as it might seem in this very rural area there are indeed two identical 1967 red XKE’s garaged one town apart. Both are used on an everyday basis during the summer. I’d not seen another E-type on the road for years when two summers ago I was driving down the main street of Derby, Vermont and I saw an identical twin of my own car coming the other way! I thought it might be a truck carrying a large mirror! We’ve since spent some time on dual “E” trips about New England. If you spot one again in the area next summer ….mine would be the one with the nice looking blonde in the passenger seat! (The bride of many years made me say that!)

LB....... is the picture of your car, or one of a car that looked like yours? I had a 1960 Black Impala convertible, but didn't have the continental kit. My 1955 Bel Aire Convertible did have the continental kit. They were sharp looking, but the added weight made a already slow car that much slower.

You'd better convince her you're sincere!

 

[jwnge]

Naw! These are "old" cars!

Ken

Ah!!! and a nice Mahindra red also

With todays trend in car building... it could be a new car! Not much creativity anymore... look at the new mustangs, etc. New cars look like old cars. One in mind looks like the car from the green hornet days.

My 60 Chevy Convertible was black.
It didn't have a continental kit.
More info on the 60 Chevy http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/785557-post1.html
I had 2 55 Chevys
I had 2 of the 49 and 50 Chevys. The 49 and the 50 were just like the one pictured . Both of them were that color of green and were 4 door dedans.
The one I have now is a bluish gray1950 Chevy Business Coupe.

LB,
I couldn't make it over today to see your 1950 Chevy... I'll have to try again another day.

 

[Iowachild]

I wish I still had the one that looked just like this one!

In his youth My Grandfather drove old cars!

Were they old when he drove them?

Dusty man, I always liked the look of the 1959 Chevrolet line over the 1960 models... but then again, the 1960 models started the tradition of the double and triple taillights, depending on the model.

The 59 was one of Chevys sharpest looking cars, but my Black 60 Impala Convertible just wouldn't have looked right in a 59 body.
However a black 59 Impala Convertible with a white top and red and white interior to go with my 60 would have made a pretty pair.
Closest I ever came to such a pair was my neighbor buddy had a Black 57 Chevy Convertible with a white top and a red and white interior. at the same time I had the 60.
They were a sharp looking pair together.
I've got some pictures of them taken together some where around here.
I also have a picture of my 1960 that was taken when it was parked out on the street in front of my aunts house in Canton Ohio back around 1962.

Sorry.... 1958 Chevrolet Impala had 3 across the rear body panel at both sides. Tail lamp / backup lamp / tail lamp. I also had one of those. Back then, I got a new Chevrolet Convertible every year. They were 1 year old used ones that belonged to the dealers wife. They were always loaded with options, and even though air conditioning was rare, they all had A/C. The 1958 was the first, and the 1963 was the last. He sold the dealership and that contact was lost.
