During my childhood my parents owned 3 1967 Olds 98's.The high compression 425's all sounded so good.I could always tell when dad was home{usually with a nervous lump in my throat} by the blub blub of that bigblock.When he later replaced his 67 with a 1970 88 with a 350 in it I actually told him that it sounded like it had tin cans for pistons{pretty asute observation for a 10 year old}.He sold his dented up 98 for $25 and my moms much nicer one for $400 back in the 80's.When I first layed eyes on what would be my first car I just knew I had to have it.A 1967 Olds Cutlass 2 door.Man I wish dad had just kept the 425 out of that car he sold for $25,it ran so good.That car had his old pipe tobacco smell in it,rode like it was on a cushion of air and he would manuver it through parking lots with just the tip of one finger on the steering wheel.
Anybody remember the good old dayz when preparing for the family vacation started out with going down to the local parts store and picking up a few cans of freon and soaking them in hot water and charging up the AC so it would stay cold all week?No suprise they outlawed that stuff.Heck,who am I kidding,I was doing the same thing all summer long with my Trans Am and cans of that"freeze 12" replacement stuff.Some old habits die hard. |

It was a Cop Target-Im pretty sure that's why my Father initially sold it,Because he would ALWAYS get pulled over by the COPS-Funny thing is that it still had the marijuana leaf's on it in 2008 but ,The Guy that has it now had them removed&he also took off the Chain steering wheel-I have a lot of pic's of this car but i cant seem to load them up here?I was told that it was a Autorama Show car(Winner) from back in the day...

It started in the spring of 1967 while on my way to elementary school. I heard this car tearing down the back roads of suburban Philadelphia. The tone of that exhaust, the lope and sound of the solid lifter camshaft left quite an impression. It was a white with black stripe 1967 Camaro. I found out few years later that is was a friends cousin's 67 z28. The owner used to race it on front street in Philly, and was stolen in 1969.

Experts say that the first memory children have is tied to the first acquistion of language - in other words if you don't have a method of classifying and storing the information in your brain, you wont have a way to retrieve it either.
I would disagree with that premise as my first car memory was when I was 6 months old (yes, that's right). I remember being held in the baby sitter's arms, opening my eyes, looking up, and seeing her "ample bosom" ![]() This was the day he was going to build the gaint A-framed tree house that would stand for 20+ years in our backyard in Orange, Connecticut. My parents could never understand how I could recall that car at such a young age but after some research it turned out that they only had that car for one summer in 1963 and sold it shortly thereafter. There was no way I could have known about it without seeing it firsthand. (They also thought I was autistic because I wouldn't talk to anyone til I was about 4 or 5 years old, but I could name any car that drove by from age 1, onward.) So basically my first memories are of big breasted women and cars. Some things never change. ![]() |
