Hope I'm not posting twice. I tried to zoom in on the sliver and what I had started typing was gone. Anyway, I had said I don't much care for the yellow modern car but the silver one on the left I'm drooling over. What is it about a 68 Stingray? If it is a four on the floor 427 I'm crying.
Yup, I believe you are correct. I remember in 69 they came out with the high front wheel wells on the hood. I haven't liked a corvettes looks since 69. I'd love to have a 66 Stingray or a 66 XKE. I think the Jag had three carburetors and are a bitch to tune but when tuned they are something. Three Deuces.
Near on 50-years ago we had a small beagle-Heinz mix that simply had attitude against anyone outside of family. Otherwise he checked all the “good dog” boxes. Finally a family friend in need of a watchdog/companion offered to take him to his place up in the Shenandoah. Living the good life, Pooch lived out his days "flank-to-flank" protecting all property in view - including the family works - against all domestic enemies and maybe a few intruders.
I bet the pooch has an "accident" on the way to that farm
ReplyDeleteOne of mine was sent to live on a farm and when I asked about him later, he'd been hit by a train. Kids don't forget that shit. I'm 79.

ReplyDeleteI always thought the second generation Corvette, the one on the left, was the best looking one anyway. VW Thing in front. Daryl

ReplyDelete67 was the last year of the Stingray I believe. I'd take that one over the the ugly banana any day.

DeleteDog needs to run a few miles in the morning, then it will sleep most of the day.

Big deal. The dog doesn't like yellow.
