Found behind a body shop is this gorgeous Pontiac. I am unsure of the year, but quite sure of the cool factor. I would love to have owned something this classic.

My dad had a 1954 and the design of the hood was much the same. His was a 4 door with a straight 8. Not to quick getting away for a light, but on a long stretch it would peg the needle at 120. The color was coral. Looked like crap when it started to oxidize.

I’ve always wondered why cars can go 120 mpg. Who ever goes that fast?

You’ve never been to Texas?
Even with posted speed limits up to 85 miles per hour, we want to (and often do) drive faster. Not hard to do when there’s this much ground to cover.
I’ve only done the ton in my pickup and on a BMW R1100R, but my Harley Shovel clocked at 125 once.

Well that makes perfect sense, the Texas part. I was there for a month last winter and yes, there are wide stretches of open road and lots of ground to cover. I was in a motorhome and a 6 cylinder tow vehicle, so I did not do 125. The fastest I’ve ever gone on my motorcycle is 95, and that was fast enough.

This is a beautiful car!! They always make me think of pictures of Cuba! Would love to own an old brightly coloured pontiac!!

Yes, the cars in Cuba are something to behold. I would love to go there, but would have to fly from Mexico or Canada since the US remains fixated about things that occurred 50 years ago.
Thank you.

We went through the Harley phase several years back. I enjoyed riding on the back of my husband’s Soft Tail (Harley that is) but it did not compare to riding my own. 🙂

I have been in that phase for 45 years. The time will come when I am too feeble to mount up, but not yet 😉
