My Gmaw had a 68 Caddy Fleetwood. Only had 15k miles on it in 84 when she died. Had a 500 CU” motor. It was the largest V8 GM ever made. I was close to turning 15 and wanted that car so bad…sadly it was not to be.

Mine bought a '65 Impala and she told me she was paying $250.00 a month for 12 months. She traded in her '56 Chevy bel air.

Old folks loved the 442.


A buddy of mine had a convertible one when we were in high school in 1977. He would take us out for lunch at least once a week. I loved it.

Back in those days we were allowed to leave campus for lunch.

It looked very similar to this:

Another buddy had a GTO Judge. The Judge and the 442 were very similar because they were both GM cars.

I know you didn’t because you aren’t that clever. You just happened to be the last in the thread at the time. I addressed an issue and included a comment. You follow?

We had a Green '69 Charger that we took to Mexico in the mid 70s. I remember the local Mexicans had never seen such power and use to always beg my Mom to peel out. The government took it on some " technicality" and the last time we saw it it was a black & white police car.

I'm jealous of your mawmaw. I was 28 when the 69 Charger was new.

My pawpaw just test drove my new 1500. Asked me if there was a road with no houses around. Rolling from 15 mph, barked the tires and got it to 90, turned around and did it again. Then asked if he could bring my granny ride. Did it again
Had a beer with me then drove to the dealership and bought one identical.
Granny said "we were just going to look"
He was on the phone with the salesman after drinking said beer and it was already cleaned, gassed up and ready.

Hes 82.

The 440 six-pack was brought out in mid1969, but it was strictly limited to the Dodge Super Bee and the Plymouth Road Runner.
Maybe mawmaw had the standard 440 or the 426 hemi?

She wouldn’t let my pawpaw drive it because “he liked to drink”.


This reminds me of my mom telling me about how her bus driver used to drink those little miller ponies every day on the afternoon route and he didn't really hide it and all the parents knew him and to them it was just what Mr. Harold did..
