Re: Old Street Scenes

It looks to me like that is a funny car with the lid propped up

Re: Old Street Scenes

It's a flipper for sure and looking closely you can see the Moon style tank also cool how the arrow sign pointing to it says Today's Special!.

The side stripe looks kind've Harrel'ish also C-Pillar maybe 67-69 Camaro or '70 & up Cuda/Challenger but even though it looks like quad lamps it's not a '69 Mustang is it also the picture too early to be a '70 Chevelle or Challenger?.

Does the '62 'Vette at the left have big brake dog dish caps also the '65 Coupe a few down have a BB hood?.

Where is this?.
It's not but the corner location looks similar to the setup at Canada's Central Chev Hi-Performance Ctr..

Love the clean looking black '59 BelAir in front of the '56 Ford stake truck sitting behind the '59 and '62 Pontiac!.

Also what's the car in the earlier picture partially torn in the pits and Scarab/Lotus-11 looking...is it a Lister?.

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">A Used Car Lot for Legit Muscle Cars?</span></span> <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">It Happened!</span></span>

Hot Rod Archives takes a look at a used car lot was dedicated to nothing but cheap, legit musclecars.
From the February, 2009 issue of Hot Rod

<span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">La La Land</span></span>
Once in a while we find stuff in our archives that just blows us away but was never printed in the magazine. That's what we've got here, a photo by Pat Broiler from November 1968 revealing High Performance Used Cars at 500 S. Brand in Glendale, California. It was photographed for the now-defunct HOT ROD Industry News magazine, the publication that supported the organization that is now the SEMA show.

This makes us long for those old days. It's hard to believe that a world existed where a used car lot was dedicated to nothing but cheap, legit musclecars. The entire proof sheet this photo came from reveals cars such as a Hemi '67 Coronet, a '67 GTO, a GS Buick, a handful of midyear Vettes, a '40 Ford coupe, and a wicked straight-axle early Mustang. Lots of the cars have the vintage nose-high stance. Steve Bovan's Blair's Speed Shop Camaro Funny Car was also on the lot that day, though we suspect it was a display piece and not for sale. Check out the signs that advertise "Super Stock" GTOs, Corvettes, Chevelles, Mopars, Camaros, and Stingrays.

Thinking about how times have changed, consider the relatively new cars that could be sold at a performance-themed lot today. Corvettes, Vipers, Mustangs, perhaps some five-year-old Camaros and Firebirds, a Trailblazer SS-but what else?

The last time we drove past the location of this old photo, it was still a car lot, but loaded with minivans and SUVs. We doubt anyone will relish those cars or those memories 40 years from now. -David Freiburger

Re: Old Street Scenes

In Warminster pa, right down the street from the old Hurst plant (suburb of Philly) There was a used car lot that only carried hi performance cars too. It was called paul Olds. This was back in the mid 70's.. I knew friends who bought a white LS6 70 SS Chevelle and another who bought a 70 Mack 1 and another kid who bought a 70 Orbit orange RAIV Judge there. Anyone remember it? Im sure Don White does. He even knows the 70 Judge owners back then:)

I'm going to say that's Oxnard AFB in SoCal, now Camarillo Airport. California Air National Guard F-86Ls in the foreground and Air Defense Command F-106s in the background. The 106s were based there and the 86Ls were probably visiting from their home base at Ontario, out near Pomona. c1964.

Well.
I bought the car new in March 1970 at Baldwin Chevrolet. I was going back and forth, trying to make up my mind between a Boss 302 and an Z and then finally a Sunoco commercial, which was a helicopter view of Mark Donahue tooling around a road course (with sound) came on TV and made up my mind and I was down the block to Baldwin Chevrolet, whom I knew had about a dozen left over 69's on the lot. I didn't care for the new (1970) body style. There was only one on the lot that had an Endura bumper and that's the one I bought. I'd hate to think of what equipment the other's might have had (cross ram. JL8, who knows..?)but all I knew was that I wanted the Endura bumper, which also was my fav color,Cortez silver. When the salesman/owner (Ed Simone)pulled the paperwork on the car he found that it was an ordered car that was sent up to Motion for headers, carb reject, igition re-curve and "custom" spark plug wires, but apparently the original deal fell through and the car was never delivered. Well I bought it that day for $3208, out the door. The picture I posted was taken in 1974, the day I sold the car when we bought our first house! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
I sold it for $6000 and figured I did real good on the deal. BTW, car had 4300 miles on it when sold...

Re: Old Street Scenes

Naw..I began looking for the car the early 80's with hopes of buying it back, but stuck out. NY DMV purged old license plates to cross reference to VIN and Baldwin Chev was long gone..could't believe that I didn't have anything left with a VIN on it.
..what an idiot... Even checked with Joel, but work order only referenced dlr veh stock #...like I said, what an idiot. hey..the car I sold for the Z was no slouch either...black 68SS 396/375.
