[QUOTE="db-2, post: 342505, member: 4743"] Back in somewhere around 59 my dad bought a 57 Olds, 371 with the tri power (J2 motor). At the time the fastest car in town was a 59 Chevy with a 348. Not sure if it was a tri power or not. One day my older brother got to take it to school. By noon there was a new car in town that was the king of the hill. My dad did like the faster cars with his last one a 71 VIP with the 440 and 375 hp. At the time that was also king. In 50ths had Hudson and they quit making, then Desota which they quit making and finally Plymouth which in time were gone. He did have a 49 Olds 98 convertible and not sure how that went back then, too young, my older brother did manage to wreck it and then lie so it was gone. db [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Interesting to see who will post on this topic. So much more enjoyable to read than topic on virus or Russia. Yet to say which model was best back then as whatever one has today it is one of the best. db [/QUOTE]
