Default Re: Cars with Cragars

All this talk about the Pittsburgh "scene" back in the day... I often wonder what happened to all of those cars? On any given summer night, the Corrigan drive parking lots were like a car show. Growing up in a city neighborhood, I can remember the following cars parked on the streets in the early 1980s within blocks of our house:

'71 Chevelle SS 4-speed Mulsane (sp) blue w/ white stripes (and Cragars)
'69 Camaro RS 4-spd - grey primer black vinyl roof (and Cragars)
'66 GTO automatic - white with black vinyl roof (aftermarket chrome steel slots)
'68 GTO automatic - red (Cragars)
'65 Impala SS - Maroon w/ Cragars
etc

I took my drivers test in my Mom's daily driver in 1988 - frost green '69 Malibu 2-dr hardtop 350/TH350 w/ rallys, eagle ST radials, and a SS hood that me and my Dad added. These cars were literally everywhere you looked in the 'burgh back in the day (and most had Cragars... trying to keep this a little on topic! LOL).
