Yeah I've loved the big fin era cars, never owned any
My Uncle Tink, my mentor in life
(
former Marine Maj. WWII & Korea, retired shortly, they wanted him to come back
offer good bonus, so then reupped eventually became a Army, Green Beret Col. in VietNam era)
he liked the luxury & looks, always had one in his stable/literal barn,
on the family 1,000+ acre farm/ranch in Bethel Island...
I remember a few from 57's-61's, sometimes a couple different ones at a time
he was always a big fin DeSoto/big finned Chrysler man, loved the fins tail-lites
(
& Hemi's) & the cushy ride at 100mph
, his wife my Aunt Anne,
she was a lead-foot, she had the muscle cars, always manual trans too,
a lot of A-bodies (
1st Darts, then Demon & Duster) also a couple B-bodies,
his/their son Pete/John (
like 10-ish years older then me) was also in the muscle car crowd,
68 Barracuda Formula-S, MoPar man, took same path in the military too...
I always looked up them...
Good male figures/examples of men in my early years...
