I was just a little too young to be driving in the 60's, but man I sure remember those days...American cars were all you saw...Imports were no-where around....Gas was cheap, and mpg was who cared...lol...
Hot rods, drag-cars were all sitting in driveways being worked on by the owners in their own garage...All us kids were given rides and "helped" out...lol...Older guys were much more tolerant of younger kids as I remember it...They'd send us on "missions" to the local junk-yards to get/"obtain" car parts...dash knobs, taillights, hood ornaments...lol...It was a blast....
Went to the drag-strip practically every weekend...Sometimes even rode our bikes to the end with the sand trap, just left them their, snuck into the track, rode home at mid-nite when it was over...lol..
By the time I started to drive, the glory days were over...gas crisis (Imagine not even being able to get gas)....Smog checks and emissions crap on the motors were a definite bummer...
