Re: 67 Camaro Dig
I understand Now,why some Car owners don't like to revisit the past.He saw some pretty heavy action in Vietnam.This Camaro is his a holding tank for ALL those memories & past items.When I opened up the trunk,it was as if I opened a coffin,and he backed away.
I could tell he didn't want to go back there,but not discard these items away either. I left the Trunk lid open,and went about some other picture taking elsewhere on the car,to take his mind off of what was in the trunk. Every now & then he would walk over to the open trunk & pull an item out.One by One he talked about what everything meant.Pictures,Combat boots,letters,patches,etc.His wife came outside and was surprised to hear him open up.It lasted 3 hours.I brought a 12 pack of Old Style and we soon needed more beer.It was really Nice,as well as sad. He gave me this Patch,which I hold in High regard,because after seeing what everything meant to him,is an Honor for me. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Walt540001.jpg |

On the lighter side.He has Many of these in the trunk,packed full of Stamps.
He gave them to me,as I am saving to get My Mom that Croc Pot she always wanted. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Walt520001.jpg |

Re: 67 Camaro Dig
Last Picture.
He is very tight lipped and Camera shy. He and his wife were a lil upset when I snapped this. He did say when he Came home from Vietnam,he walked into Bill Jacobs Chevrolet in August 1967,and wanted,"One of those New Camaros!" He paid around 2K for this Late 67 L-30/M-20/12 Bolt sitting on the lot,becasue he liked the color. He didn't really know what Horse Power it was or cared. He is not a Gear Head/Hot rodder,and thus is why the car does not have headers or other Speed parts bolted on over the years. He was always a shy kid and didn't much care for that type. It has single Exhaust and Drum Brakes all around.No Power Steering. His most memorable moment,April 4th,1968 at 6:00PM.He was challenged by a another in a Plymouth to race while leaving the Oak Brook Shopping center here. They dragged back & forth down the Highway & he always beat him.He felt good,gets home,and turns on the Radio and hears Martin Luther King was just Shot.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Walt460001.jpg |
