How many Old-Timers do we have here?
I know there are some of you out there. Let's hear from you.
I got my first Vette at 22 in 1955. It was a Polo White with a Red interior and 195 hp V8 with PG. Didn't keep it long after the '57's came out. Had to have a 270hp with a hardtop and roll up windows. Now playing with a 2008 Vert that I just added headers to.
Oh, by the way, today is my B-day.

Happy BD. Bought my first Vette in 1967 at 21. This was a 427/390 Coupe. Wonderful car easy to work on and fast for the day. I have had many since then and bought myself a new 2008 Z06 which is a fantastic car and was a personal BD present. Have a good day!

Hey, you need to remember that most on this forum have no idea what "PG" is along with a V8 (that, they know). For those who don't, it's not an internet abbreviation; it stands for "powerglide" the crude but relatively reliable 2 speed automatic trans that GM used for many years.
Oh and Happy Birthday!~
