I guarantee you won't be making very many ‘zippy maneuvers’ in that car.

I learned to drive on one of these. Ours was black without the vinyl roof, but with the Ralleye II wheels.



30 years later - I still miss that car more than any other.

I learned to drive in a 1975 Oldsmobuick Land Yacht. It was an interesting experience. This was back when the teacher loaded four students in the car (three in the back, one at the wheel), had a brake pedal on the passenger side, and yanked the wheel to keep you from careening off the off-ramp at 55 MPH (old-Nixon era rules) and into a field.

I owned the 1968 Olds version of that car in ‘78.
The 1976 version of that car saved my life in 1984.
(drunk driver crossed the line and hit my ‘76 Olds (same General Motors blue color). I walked away; he didn’t.

My parents had a 67 Electra. It got up and went, I think it had a 430 ci engine. We called it the gunboat. They had it for about 15 years.
