We had a nice Cutlass Calais... looked great but could hardly keep it running.

Yes you are correct. 87 cutlass. My grandma bought it new and I got it after she gave up driving. Still runs. But has been sitting for a few years now. Trying to sell it to fund the truck lol.

This is is typical view around here. Miles and miles of farm land.

Dad came out the other day and couldn’t believe how good of shape the truck is in for sitting for 30+ years. He has a 56 trying to convince him to get back at it.

I don’t know if he’d ever sell it as he was born in 56. Years ago he put a camaro I believe, clip on the front I know he said he wasn’t really happy with it. He has always talked about making it into a 4x4. My old boss has a 53 4x4. Can’t remember the chassis but the engine is a Buick. Runs nice and smooth.
