Had a '73 Type LT from "Funniday", for a while. Remember scoring Hot Wheels at the Jewel, too - and Steinberg Baum (sp?) which was up the road a bit, as I recall.

You know I am looking out my office window and can see the grove from here. The toboggan slides are closed this year.

Yep. Pasquesi's on Bank Ln. in LF could get the job done, too, dog-wise.

I know Pasquesi's too, but there weren't many Hot Rods or Muscle cars running around there LF, in my day.Don't know about the 60s-70s. I was one of the few. As far as HP & HW goes that was another story.

My older Cousin Enzo, ruled the streets with his '65 Satellite which had a 426 race Hemi, purchased at Mr. Norms. It was Tuned by the Funny Car team Nanini and Fontanini. He passed early in his life,as did Al Fontanini, but was instrumental in getting me hooked into this hobby on many levels.

Enzo Bimbi drove a car tuned by Nanini & Fontanini.

Found this in a stack of Newspapers I recently acquired.
It's especially interesting to me,because it is the ONLY time I have seen a dealership publically advertise the 1969 Chevrolet SuperSport Sweepstakes program,which offered Cars as well as CA$H prizes.
The first time Chevrolet ever stooped to do that,as they really didn't like to give out CA$H Money.
