Re: Felix Chevrolet / 1959 Bel Air
 

Pantera,
I know how you feel..... Several trips to Motion on L.I. to buy speed parts for my '62, surrounded by all those cars we'd all die for today, and no camera. Never even thought of saving those scenes on film. I think we were all so spoiled back then and thought tomorrow, next week or next year there would be something even better to drool over, we never stopped and realized just how much we should have savored every moment.
Then when I was 16 or 17 and was at E-Town every weekend, I still remember a metalflake purple '63 Impala owned and raced by a black guy (who's name I forget). I have a strong hunch it was a Z-11 car, but never took a picture, and have never been able to turn up a lead about the car.
Soooooo, about the time they invent the technology to extract your memories and print them, I'll find that "Way-Back" machine I misplaced...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Growing up,I was under the impression we'd all be riding in cars that fly in the Air,or owning jetpacks by now.
Looking back,it's No Wonder we were all looking so far ahead,and not at the World around us then.

------If you guys want to get back on the 59 it was around Bloomington Gold this weekend. The blue car is not original. Emblems are repro along with several other problems, notably wrong injector tag. There was, however, a beautiful, red, paperworked 59 Impala fuelie/4spd convert on display owned by a friend of mine. Wish I had time to take pics for ya'll!..........Bill S

--------Were you there, Belair? Would like to have met you. Did you buy an event shirt? If so I made a buck or two off you...........Bill S

Re: Felix Chevrolet / 1959 Bel Air
 

No I know the owner of the red car....send me a shirt for free.

It's a remake...or clone if you will. Says it in the description.

Though I remember Felix Chevrolet commercials from when I lived in SoCal....the clock looks good!
