...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

My neighbor just got a silver one that is pretty hot.

First year model, might be a mistake. I've been reading lots of minor aggravations with this car........

Tell us what he thinks a year from now.

No. I wish.

Nice Lincoln!

Here's my only Chevy ever (picture similar to mine, but not mine).

We have them weekly in the summer ... always fun. We also have a Ferrari Concours on Father's Day that is spectacular.

Each August, ..... line Woodward Ave in Detroit for Cruise Weekend

That would be the WOODWARD DREAM CRUISE. I don't think there is anything like it in the world. From Eight mile rd. almost to Pontiac, that's well over EIGHT MILES of classic cars lining Woodward Ave. for that one day event. (not to worry tho, things start building up in that area the entire week leading up to Saturday.)

Myself, I wouldn't be caught dead over there due to the traffic congestion so I just catch the news reports........but it is AWESOME!

I still drive a 65 Chevy PU and won’t even consider another new one if it was for free.

Bought 5 of them new and after I closed the business kept one for myself.

Itt’s got 1,367,000 miles on it and counting.
