Thread: Where were you in 1957? (Tulsa inspired!)

Tweet

I was 6yrs old ,attended catholic school, just getting into model cars and riding bikes. My two oldest brothers were helping out at the family gas station, or out working on stock cars at a neighboring truck garage,big junk yard right across the street, life was good for a gearhead. Hank

24 years old and cruising around in my '56 Dodge D500 looking for 283's to demoralize. The only way to tell that the Coronet two door "cheapliner" had anything other than a gasping flathead six under the hood was a little crossed flags emblem on the left front corner of the hood. It had a little 315c.i. hemi in it that was factory rated at 260hp.

So I had a bit of an unfair advantage. Is there a problem with that?

Also, stuck in a job I didn't like in and industry that didn't interest me and freshly dumped by a girl I thought was the only woman in the world for me.

....... You gotta take the bad with the good, don't you?
