Holy crap! One wrong slip and that thing would chop you to bits.

 

I guess everyone assesses risks a little differently. The guy probably ran into machine gun fire fifteen years earlier at Omaha Beach or maybe he was in the South Pacific. Now-a-days we are a little more risk adverse it seems.

Anyone know where this is/was and if it's still standing?

 

 

 

My Mom and Dad's first new car was a Candy Red '66 Ranch Wagon with a 390 C6 automatic. It was a nice driving car. It actually still sits behind Dad's barn, but sadly an ice storm caused a large limb to fall on the roof damaging it pretty badly. Until that happened, my boys were talking about restoring it.

This picture cracks me up. I'd love to know what the back story is here. It looks like wife just won a bet, or something, and got to take hubby's hot rod convertible Fairlane with the baby moon hubcaps out shopping with her best friend. They seem pretty excited about something they think is fun.

 

Good looking car, great looking gal......sounds like a nice afternoon to me
She definitely seems to be enjoying life!
