She's so fine, my L79........Showing off a little...My '64...View attachment 4865
Parris Island, SC one hot place in the summer.That was some cool cars everyone sent in.Our family car was a Parkwood or Brookwood 61 Chevy wagon (Impala type).The first road trip was a 2 week vacation to Parris Island SC to visit my Mothers 1st cousin family with their 3 kids. She was a Drill Instructors wife.We had so much fun at that place I told my Father to join up and become a DI too, so we could live there too.First off he told me I was crazy (He spent 3 & 1/2 years walking all over Europe in WW2,carrying a 30 cal.machine gun no less) what'd I know I was 6 or 7.Then he explained how you just don't pick what you want when you enlist in the service.
Anyway's our 61 Chevy wagon went somewhere every summer loaded up with us and stuff for 11 years before we gave it to my older Brother who promptly destroyed it.Thanks for letting me reminisce.
That was a great video but I don't like it when they start rumors that aren't true.Talking about the Chevelle wagons (starting around 6:20) the announcer says it was available with bib block power however I don't think an A body wagon got a big block till 1970 if I'm not mistaken ? I know the B body's had available BBC's but the Chevelle line nope.....until later on.
Why did GM stop making the 2 dr. wagons they were so cool and the Nomad types were so elligent across the 4 different top lines even I bet a 64 or5 2 dr. LeMans wagon would've been like a GTO wagon imagine that ????????
Another wagon was my moms in 75, she had a 69 Ford Colony Park? but huge wagon with a 429 that she came to my dads house in Fl. in 75 when he wasn't home and I took off with her and my uncle, his GF and my 5 half bros & sisters for a 9 month road trip of sorts from Fl to Oh to Az ( we also took my 18 yr old cousin Randy to Az) and back to Oh where I finally called my dad and said I wanted to come home lol Nuff Fun haha, he said Im not coming to get you find your own way so I hitch hiked, but had great memories in that Ford wagon and lots of miles cramped up in the car along with big trash bags of clothes, my 12 yr old bro getting pissed about some thing in Albuquerque NM and running off (think he wanted something diff to eat at a DT ) but what a memory and this is only a small bit of it
