In response to Seon
For me, I had the good fortune to grow up with a 64 Impala SS. If I recall correctly, Mom and Dad got ours in 1968 when I was around 1. The story goes that Mom needed some ribbon and so we went to Sears on Grand Avenue in St. Louis ( some of you from these parts may remember this). Across the street was I believe Charlie's Chevrolet. While Mom and I are in Sears, Dad takes a stroll over to the "OK Used Cars" section and looks at an Ermine White/red interior SS. 283, PS,PB,Air conditioning etc. Dad falls in love with this car and before the day was over we were heading home in it. Mom has always said that was the most expensive ribbon she has ever purchased!
That car hauled us around until 1991 when it just plain wore out. It then went into storage for 9 years until I had a place of my own to park it. She now sits in my garage in very rough shape waiting for me to start on her. I know I would be money ahead starting with a better project but every time I think that, I remember riding around in the back not even able to look over the front seats. It's always been a part of my life, and I just can't picture it without this car.
