My Dad bought a car like this in Black, brand new in 1963. About 3 years later, he took my Mom out for Chinese food on a single digit temperature cold winter night. After dinner, he returned to the car, started it and heard screams of terror. A cat decided to warm up on the intake manifold and never made it past the fan and radiator (no clutch fan here). I spent the next day removing a fur and bone filled radiator in the driveway with temps in the teens to get it over to the radiator repair shop. In 1968 I used it to flat tow my first new car, a 68 Black Z/28 Camaro out to National Speedway. He gave me the car years later and I used it as a second car to leave at the train station. This one brings back some good memories.

I maybe could have barely tolerated it, then I saw the script writing on the inside door panels.

FAIL.

Keep moving up 130, might as well throw Burlington city in there too

 

[70NPORT]

Yep, annex the place. Why wait. Used to be a time when it wasn't so.

 

[polara71]

I really dont even remember those times, those cities have always been the way they are since I have been around, a little worse for wear but still the same

You don't know what you are missing. they use to have the Great Circus Parade in Milwaukee even way back when I was a kid.

The Great Circus Parade is a parade of marching bands, circus wagons, clowns, performers, and animals. Between 1963 and 2009, it has been held 30 times in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and a few times in Chicago and Baraboo, Wisconsin.[SUP][1][/SUP] A fundraiser for the Circus World Museum,[SUP][2][/SUP] the parade typically draws hundreds of thousands of attendees.[SUP][1][/SUP] The parade recreates how people in the late 19th century and early 20th century gathered along stops on a circus's route to see whether a circus was worth viewing.[SUP][3]
