In Warminster pa, right down the street from the old Hurst plant (suburb of Philly) There was a used car lot that only carried hi performance cars too. It was called paul Olds. This was back in the mid 70's.. I knew friends who bought a white LS6 70 SS Chevelle and another who bought a 70 Mack 1 and another kid who bought a 70 Orbit orange RAIV Judge there. Anyone remember it? Im sure Don White does. He even knows the 70 Judge owners back then

Hot Rod Archives takes a look at a used car lot was dedicated to nothing but cheap, legit musclecars.
From the February, 2009 issue of Hot Rod

Once in a while we find stuff in our archives that just blows us away but was never printed in the magazine. That's what we've got here, a photo by Pat Broiler from November 1968 revealing High Performance Used Cars at 500 S. Brand in Glendale, California. It was photographed for the now-defunct HOT ROD Industry News magazine, the publication that supported the organization that is now the SEMA show.

This makes us long for those old days. It's hard to believe that a world existed where a used car lot was dedicated to nothing but cheap, legit musclecars. The entire proof sheet this photo came from reveals cars such as a Hemi '67 Coronet, a '67 GTO, a GS Buick, a handful of midyear Vettes, a '40 Ford coupe, and a wicked straight-axle early Mustang. Lots of the cars have the vintage nose-high stance. Steve Bovan's Blair's Speed Shop Camaro Funny Car was also on the lot that day, though we suspect it was a display piece and not for sale. Check out the signs that advertise &quot;Super Stock&quot; GTOs, Corvettes, Chevelles, Mopars, Camaros, and Stingrays.

Thinking about how times have changed, consider the relatively new cars that could be sold at a performance-themed lot today. Corvettes, Vipers, Mustangs, perhaps some five-year-old Camaros and Firebirds, a Trailblazer SS-but what else?

The last time we drove past the location of this old photo, it was still a car lot, but loaded with minivans and SUVs. We doubt anyone will relish those cars or those memories 40 years from now. -David Freiburger

I'm going to say that's Oxnard AFB in SoCal, now Camarillo Airport. California Air National Guard F-86Ls in the foreground and Air Defense Command F-106s in the background. The 106s were based there and the 86Ls were probably visiting from their home base at Ontario, out near Pomona. c1964.
