    A gray cloth Ranger STX bucket is much more comfy than black vinyl with windows down.
    M-24 is n-s so the sun bakes drivers headed north in traffic. Cant cruise with windows up and a/c.
    Would have parked and stayed longer but had no chair. Too hot to tailgate. All the shady spots were taken.

    That is a 72. Only year with the wrap around front bumper like the Torino. My Grandpa had a wagon when I was a teenager. 351c 2v. Was fast going straight. Wouldn’t handle for a darn though. That pic brought back some good memories. Thanks!!

    Default Sat cruise cancelled, cars will still show up

    Typical cars seen at pre cruise week here on M-1 (Annual Woodward Dream Cruise week).
    Lots of cruisers but not as many as prior WDC pre cruise Wednesdays but pretty good for a Wednesday. Great weather.

    1962 automatic. Owners did HR's Power Tour once with another blown pickup LA to Detroit.

    Not a real SD but nice car. 1963 Pontiac Lemans HP 326 with added sd scoop. Pretty sure it was an automatic.
    Gas filler pipe under tilt down license plate.
    Pipe curved up almost 90°, not straight like most license fill position that lose fuel if cap is gone or loose.
    Woodward Ave thurs nite cruiser. Nice turnout.

    The government considers it a motorcycle. Motorcycle engine, requires motorcycle license and insured as a bike. Pretty rare, fewer than 350 made before they went out of business.

    That scoop is not SD. It is off a 60's ford Truck (not pickup). Some trucks had 2 but most had them offset to one side and faced backwards.

    Yup can remember well the Ford scoops on their trucks as a kid. The Tonka Toy heydays.
    In fact, had a 57 Tonka hiway dump with one. Its gone, but now have a 57 Tonka fire pumper with one.
    Naturally was comfortable and is special having bought a Ford with a engine that needed a factory hood scoop.

    Forward centered, backwards, multiple. SD Gas or Diesel. One of our school busses had one.
    Kind of the start of the scoop=power look.
    Ford heavy trucks were commonly seen back then. A treat to see one of them still working now.

    1957-1963 F700-1100, T700-950, B700-750.
    1964-1969 F750-1100, N750-1100, T750-950, NT850-950.
    1970-1972 F750-950, B750-950, LN600-700
    A transit mix company doing new house concrete in my 60's neighborhood had a small fleet of new Ford CCab SD mixers.
    Custom Cab feature and chrome badging was cool to see on a big Ford tandem axle truck.
    The front end and cab sat up there real tall as a kid and now too. Peek inside when the driver got in and out.
    The sounds and sights entertained onlookers for hours.

    Pontiac sourced the SD scoop from Ford. Read they had their own Pontiac p/n. May be 196061626364.
    An odd sort of thing that was done.
    That car i seen looked like a real SD except read no Pontiac SD convertibles were made.

    See one of those jet motorcars occasionally freeway commuting in the 90's.
    May be the same one, now across the river rolling in Canada.

    Well I'll be... I just thought they took them off an old truck, Pontiac actually sourced them. Interesting! I have spent many hours looking over the top of that scoop.

    They had SSP all the way up to the end in 1993. That is an early production 1990. Looks real to me. You can tell from the outside if you peek under it. Underneath the driver's seat there is extra bracing to keep the floor pan from cracking like the early ones all did.

    Great car...Unkillable Slant six



    Um, no... that's a Dodge Dart . From what I can see of the headlight doors it's a '65. Pretty damn cool IMHO.
    See UTG. Similar car.

    Default C8 Corvette Stingray HT

    Got a rare chance to ride in a C8 Corvette Stingray Hardtop (is not the Coupe). Happy to see real styling in and out.
    Retractable power hardtop with separate power up/down heated and centered rear glass window.
    Hellofacar. Interior, exterior, details, drive ability manners (500hp), are mind blowing.

    R and D are finger pull switches. N and P are push. Rotary knob under white console pad selects driving mode.
    Steering wheel has two scroll wheels, buttons, including the Z button, to select most everything that is preset.
    Top edge console buttons are push. Amazing everything somehow lets one focus easily on driving.
    This Bose stereo system hit hard with high db at only 1/2 volume. Modern spacey looking dash contours.
    A lot of serious thought, GM traditions, and tech magic are in these babies from Chevrolet.
