Each August, Chevrolet Outdoor Billboards line Woodward Ave in Detroit for Cruise Weekend. These billboards feature classic Chevrolet muscle cars & great tag lines!

nice. boy, what a time.....

[mnehring]

Will Chevy build anything like this any more or will it be the Obamamobile?

[the invisib1e hand]

OMG! Are those great! Thanks.

The fact that people can still think like this and that these bilboards aren't illegal means there's hope for America.

[dalereed]

Owned em, built em, and raced em!

[the invisib1e hand]

why you gotta go and mess up a beautiful thread with that shit?

[the invisib1e hand]

You otta put a “Muscle Car Caucus” tag on this thread, to keep out the agitators.

[Iowa Granny]

Thanks for the ‘sweet’ memories

[the invisib1e hand]

[GSP.FAN]

[Squantos]

Perfect !

[mnehring]

Does this make up for it?

My neighbor just got a silver one that is pretty hot. I would but I owe Ford my next couple of buys. Their stock treated me well when they refused the bailout.

[Huskrrrr]

Thanks, seems like a million years ago. When I was in high school my best friends drove a 68 Camaro, a 68 GTO, and a 65 vette. Those were the days. My dad had a 69 LTD with a 390 under the hood. V8’s were the rule not the exception.

To late..

Pontiac is fair game, too.

You know how at a funeral, you always try to say something nice about the dearly departed? Well, these billboards say it all. Lots of wonderful memories remain.

[the invisib1e hand]

no, but you get credit for repenting.

[mazda77]

How about this for a retro on a C6 chassis?

[the invisib1e hand]

V8’s were the rule not the exception.

They still rule.

[Huskrrrr]

Me too. Bought F at $1.50 a share, for the same reason. Congratulations!

[mnehring]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

[Huskrrrr]

Indeed!

[mnehring]

The return paid for the down payment on a home we are closing on in a few weeks. I feel I owe F. A Bullitt Mustang may be in my future.

[FrdmLvr]

Have you seen “Gran Torino” yet? (the movie, I mean). Gotta see it..old Detroit neighborhoods and a classic American car. Thanks for the pics of the old Chevys.

[the invisib1e hand]

You just HAD to ask...

[yarddog]

I grew up during the golden age of American automobiles. The 50’s and 60’s. Goodness I loved those cars.

I remember my old 55 Ford with 272 would run like crazy and I could change the water pump in less than half an hour. I recently changed the one on my 302 and it took me two weeks and I had to take everything off the front of the engine. The newer ones are probably even worse.

The best car I ever had was a 65 Olds with 425 370HP engine. It went through my Father, my Brother, and finally me. I sold it with over 200,000 miles on it and it still ran like a bat out of hell. Never used oil and would cruise the interstate like it was idling.

GM was marketing the Camaro to gays to boost sales. Now no one wants to be seen in it (unless they’re gay).

...along these lines...do you folks have “cruise nights” in your area of the country? Where people with hot rods, customs, meet to hang out for a few hours on a weekly bases

[FrdmLvr]
