A Texas highway patrol car??? Dual pipes and weird rear bumper guards ... |
Re: Old Street Scenes
Looks like that's a standard issue passenger car license plate, so it's probably not a highway patrol car. Whatever it is (67 Dodge Coronet maybe???) that would definitely fit the description of a "bad wreck".
|
Re: Old Street Scenes
Looks like a 68 Plymouth Fury 4 door to me and looks to be the stock bumper guards with the rubbers torn loose. Also missing the center trunk trim. Texas Highway Patrol did use the 68 Plymouth Fury's but these plates are dated 72 so not sure. Must have been one hell of a crash as they even wiped out a shed or some other building.

Re: Old Street Scenes
maybe it was a retired Highway Patrol Car that someone bought at auction then got way over their head in ... it also looks like a chrome ball from a whip antenna on the rh side of the deck lid ... not sure though
regardless, one weird wreck |

Yes, I believe you are correct. Look at all the flood debris in the background.

Re: Old Street Scenes
Wow. Awsome tread. I was born in 1971,so a lot of this is before my time. It is funny how when you are a kid the people in pics from the "olden dayz" seem like they might as well be from another planet,they dont look anything like people you know. The older you get the more you find that the poeple of the olden dayz look just like the people of today just with funny haircuts and clothes.
I think its around page 181,that chick with the monster hair. I would soooo like to have my way with her,and she would need to have the big hair when I did it too. There are lots of other hotties too. I wouldnt throw the chick tuning the carbs out of bed either. I wonder if the nerdy looking guy with the blue GT500 ragtop knew that he had a goldmine there. If he stashed that car back then he could have had an investment that exceeded any investment in history by 100's of percent. Did some convertables like that go for over 500K at auction. A survivor would be off the charts. |
Re: Old Street Scenes
Glenn, this thread has amazed and intrigued me since you started it.
It is so much fun to look at the cars and determine the year of the pics. Then to try and discover the location based on city-scapes and geographical clues, is the best ever. Thanks for making the LOUNGE a wonderful SuperCar distraction. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] ps. thanks to all contributors of the thread. Dicky [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] |
