LOL . I'm a 50's-60's old bast--d. challenging to look at those pictures of 50's /60's street rod knowing ;; they were brand new in my early driving days.🤣🤣 same here. "oldies" these days is heavy metal from the 90's. i guess the new breed considers 50's like we had is what the flinstones listened to. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
