At 8:00 I was getting my first ticket on the Davenport, Ia. one ways! I drove 332 miles the first night and never left town. I filled up three times with sunoco 34cent gas for a total of $12.80 and got home at about 2:30 am on the 9th.

And my Dad thought I was the only kid who had ever done anything like that.
The night I got my license I put over 150 miles on a '55 Olds and never left the city limits. He was steaming!

Cool story!

[Chevyman]

That story is a lot funnier than mine!

[Xplantdad]

You have a really neat Z Dan!

Thanks for helping Darren out in the showcase. Darren is number 1 in my book!

And "Mr. Cumby"...what's with the "Mr. Blythe"

[Schonyenko2]

Davenport cops didn't have a great deal of patience, especially with folks from the "other side" of the river. Was Danny Miller one of the owners of the Millers a go go 66 chevelle that used to run the streets back then?

[Chevyman]

Man, have you peg it! Let the "MIller Hi Life Rock & Roll" The badest Chevelles! They had the words Miller A Go Go painted on the quarter panels
As a kid I couldn't beleive wheel standing street machines! Remember Bill Lindle Auto Sales along 4th street, which was the one way west? He would have all kinds of street rods for sale. Lots of shoe boxes that flat ass hauled the mail! He still has the light blue 57 post with the "Fabulous 409" that pulled the wheels on the Davenport ones! I would have loved to see him race Grumpy at the World series of drag racing in cordova, Il in 1968!
