Nice! I have this one hanging in my garage. Nice. This one is hanging in my garage.

You did great. I saw today, the box alone for a Johan dealer promo 64 Polara for sale on EBay for $20.00 and last year there was a very good condition Johan 64 Polara dealer promo car for sale there asking price $400. Don’t know if he ever got that much for it.

Leave it to Beaver featured a few Fords and Mopars. A Youtube video showcasing the episodes that had cars in them. In one episode mentioned in the video, “Beaver’s Prize” Ward was a little hard on the Beaver.

Mine isn’t that thick, probably because there is no money in it.

That was a bad few months in 67 with the crazy weather, big snow in January and tornados in April. The tornado killed 33 in Oak Lawn, another tornado on the same day killed several people in Belvedere , Illinois. I was 5 years old then, I remember it was 75 degrees the day of the tornado, the...

Were you in Oak Lawn when the tornado came through in 1967? It missed us by less than a mile when it went through St. Mary’s Cemetary.

I grew up in Chicago too SW side and used to “skeetch” as we called it in the mid 70’s. Kids can’t do that now with the plastic bumpers. Another thing we used to do with no worries was hitchhike, but John Wayne Gacy put an end to that. Fun times back then.

I’m getting server error message too.
