Flathead Packard 8's. The aoohga horn on a Model A.
Cars with fins, AM radios, and even some with split windshields.
Flooring the accelerator and actually being thrown back in your seat by a production v-8 powered rwd vehicle.
Trying not to get pulled over on a Saturday night.
Making it home safely.

Thanks for this thread Buick. Thanks for the memories.
You are most welcome.

I knew I'd find some people here that would have more than a superficial appreciation for such vehicles, the pure joy they elicit, and the fond memories they call forth.
