This Link was forwarded to me by Gary Tylinksi. Make sure you watch enough of it to understand the "surprise"!

Incredible. AmaZing. Great work.

I figured it out early-on ~ everything's too pristine and there's not a decal or bumper sticker on any car. But Gary's a teaser ~ he has a beautiful 1960 Chevy 2-dr hardtop sitting in a used car lot for sale! Mannn, I was looking for my car keys and headed for the door! :lol:

I want to meet this guy!

Wow! Ross, that was awesome, thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other than Z's, street rods and nice old cars are my other thing.
I only wish that it went more slowly so I could study each car and
salivate more............

But I did notice the '35-'36 Chrysler Airflow (there were only 800
2-doors, most were 4-doors of which my Dad had one. It was the Edsel
of its day because the aerodynamics were so far ahead of their time).
The '41 Suburban (my year; also I met a guy at a cruise in Keene NH
who has one that looks totally original except it has a 350 in it); and the
'49-'50 Olds club coupe (the hottest factory hot rod of its day with its
303 cid OHV V-8 engine). Lee Petty, Richard's Dad, drove one on the
NASCAR circuit and ate everybody up with it.

Thanks for the nostalgia, I have to bookmark this one............Rick

The '46 Studebaker, the '48 Buick Roadmaster, the '54 Chevy, the '56 Nomad, the '56 Poncho, the '57 Plymouth and '59 BelAir all sat in our driveways when I was young.

The AirFlow was my very first car ($50), the Rocket 88 was my second, and the 4dr '54 Chevy was my third (and final American car).

The '60 Chevy 348 Tri-Power was my favorite as a kid. How did we ever survive going so fast on those skinny tires???

Rick, if you press on the "Captain's Bars" in the lower left corner of the story board, you can pause any photo as long as you want. Press again to make it restart.

This is a great display, and will certainly stir some memories for many Club members. I run thru it twice each day.

Did anyone notice the 'SFMY409' license plate on the '64 Chevy?
She's so fine (my 409)....my 4....00000...9.
