Where's the Nova with ludicrously tall rear tires and the front end pointed diagonally toward the ground? More importantly, where's the customized van with flames or some imitation John Frazetta art on the sides? :pimp:

I went to high school in a small western AZ town along the Colorado river. It was an eclectic mix of pick-ups with gun racks and old Camaros and Mustangs

My car is missing from that photo too. In high school I drove a Vette.

I had a '67 Ford Galaxy 500. We bought from some old people who couldn't drive anymore. Low mileage, cherry condition, baby blue. It was a beast. Wish I had a picture of it. It did look like an old person car though, not cool at the time.

I think one of the big blessings of being an early Gen Xer is when we were old enough to drive the country had a great inventory of what turned out to be classic cars and we got them cheap. My buddy had a Dodge Coronet, forget which year. The cars built back then were almost all V8s and they could go 100+ MPH very easily.

In the early 1980s my friend got a low mileage 1966 Dodge Polara from his great aunt that had just been sitting around since her husband had died years before. Thing was about half a city block long but had a 383 and could still haul ass.1774533530305.jpeg

My little old blue haired Grandmother drove a 67 Dodge Coronet 500 ( without the hood scoop ) until she was unable to no longer drive. The Coronets were basically a 4 door version of the Charger with some luxury features but with all the power. That car was badass and in perfect condition. I always told my dad I wanted it if Grandma ever sold it but he sold it out from under me. Never forgave him for that.

My grandparents had a Ford Grand Torina, they sold it to my older cousin when they "upgraded" to a Buick Century :lol: For some reason old people loved Buicks back in the day.
