I just wish I could drive them : )[/align][align=center][/align][/align][align=center]Wish you `Happiness[/align]

RE: ~ Curves of Steel ~

I just wish I could drive them : )

I feel the same way.

Chevy as well as other auto makers made some really beautiful cars long before I was born. It would be great to be able to get behind the wheel of a few of the cars I've dreamed about and take them for a spin.

Back then the auto makers took more pride in the design work as well as the manufacturing of the cars they built. It was more of a "Hands On" industry. Not like today.

People call the cars of the past were gaudy, or land yachts, or dinosaurs.

I do know this. You think a '57 Chevy is large try placing one next to one of today's extended cab, duelly trucks or SUVs. It will dwarf the '57 Chevy.

RE: ~ Curves of Steel ~

Thanks Space for the link to the old auto brochures! Spent the better part of an hour just looking at and reading about all the old cars. I wonder if anyone will pay homage to our generation of cars fourty or fifty years from now;)
