I like your post of the car picture. Also your invite is appreciated. I took this one in Victoria BC. I normally don't take pictures of cars but this one was so attractive that I couldn't resist. I found a couple of others.

Do any of you people writing in remember some classic/muscle cars you owned back in the day? My wife had a 69 Firebird 350 cu. in. I had a 73 Javlin, I'll post some pics as soon as I can dig them up.

I agree with you. It is in a museum in Bend Oregon. Someone spent a lot of time restoring it. Thanks for answering!

I think it was a full sized my uncle owned a 1966 Olds 442 does any body remember what the 4-4-2 signified.
4 barrel carb, 4 speed tranny and Bucket (2) seats. But it still wasn't full size. It was over 2 feet shorter and 800 pounds lighter than the Full Size Delta 88 in 1967.
That would be 4 barrel carb, 4 speed manual transmission and duel(2) exhaust.

You are correct, wasn't going to say anything but you are right.

I had a '58 black impala 2 door coupe, 3 speed, 348 315 HP 3-2's, cam, and solid lifter from the factory. Pretty fast for a huge ole car, beat a lot of 300HP 327's to their surprise.

I believe you are right. I have a mind like a steel sieve!
Always try and keep the wheels straight in most situations. Also roll windows up unless you are going for interior shots.

Thank you,good advice!Jen
Our dad always had Oldsmobile Delta 88's as the Cutlasses weren't quite big enough for a family car. I learned to drive (and burn the tires) on a 67 Delta 88, which had an unbelievable amount of power for a "family" car. I believe it had a 455? or thereabouts under the hood. You could burn tires as long as you held your foot down and it could bury the speedometer. Wonder sometimes how I made it through those days!
