And ZZ Top is still rocking big time. Hard to believe they opened for Jimi Hendrix. ZZ Top still comes to Austin quite a bit. We saw them last year.

Besides the music, the ZZ boys are great people also real car guys too!
I partied w/ them in Toronto years ago, Billy and Dusty treated me like an old friend and I spent most of the time talkin' cars/bikes etc w/ Billy.

This is an outstanding thread. Thanks to all who posted and commented.

Here are a few from my dad's archives. Grandpa took a bunch of Boy Scouts up to the snow in his 1956 Willys Wagon. Photos taken in southeastern Humboldt County, about 250 miles north of San Francisco.









The same Willys also took Grandpa and Dad fishing:

Someone sent me this picture a while back of Decatur Rd. next to NE Philly Airport in 1971. We had a lot of fun on this road till the city decided to build the 8th District police station hear which put an end to all the fun, at least on this road anyway.

We used to race there too. My buddy had a 70 GTO Judge in Orbit Orange and a ram air IV 4 speed with 3.91's. The car was fast, until he blew it up on the Blvd one night. A bif $$ car today
