The problem with those cars in Cuba is that they are held together by bubblegum and bailing wire, though they are 45 plus years old and still running!

I recently sold my old car... damn I miss that hunk of steel!

That car is truly a thing of beauty.

Dammit, man! You sold the Chieftain?

You were supposed to keep it until I got my '65 GTO down here so we could cruise Sattiday Nights! [And, get your doors blown off by a Real Pontiac!]

You replaced it with a Real Pontiac, didn't you?

PS Glad I got to cruise that time with you though. Your Chieftain was a nice one, even if it did have a SBC under the hood!

My first car was a 53 Pontiac straight eight, two-door hardtop, everything inside was chrome...

I wish I still had every car I've ever owned even though I thought they were junk at the time I got rid of them....If I only knew then what I know now.

Presently I have a 56 F-100. I'm the second owner. It has 131,000 MI with 31,000 on the original rebuilt six with a three speed. It had been sitting in a garage for the last 15 yrs. so all the rubber is dried out but I'm in the process of replacing the weather stripping and the windshield/back window rubber. I had to replace the carb and fuel pump...gas spewed out all over from dried out seals.
