Sorry, late to read this thread but what Richard said here struck a nerve.

”People expecting trophies when they do good,when they really just did what everybody expects people to do anyways.

And a good running 440 would perform as well or better than a 426 Hemi.

And a lot less maintenance. Hemi’s “IF” they were tuned right were still rough on spark plugs.

FWIW in my experience four doors are of the 50’s and 60’s are usually found in one of two states, lightly used “little old lady” condition or the totally roached out “I got it cheap and will drive it...

Yep, Pure Michigan. If at first you don’t succeed keep throwing taxpayer money at it.

Call me a cynic but wasn’t the “Cool Cities” Initiative of twenty years ago supposed to be the answer?

Maize and Blue plates color scheme was 1954, 1965, 1967 and 1972.

What, no “X” plates?

Can’t speak for others here but I worked in dealership parts departments from 1970 to 2017 and was hot rodding and repairing cars from before that and still today.

Hmmm,didn’t see the side views of those much, saw them in my rear view mirror more often than not……

15 percent ethanol may cause damage to older vehicles, many times owned by lower income people that may entail expensive repairs “if” the parts are even available. Not to mention the reduction in...

Went to my local draft board to file an address change. Recruiter was having a slow day, his office was next door and he was standing outside.

We were talking and he was selling. I wasn’t...

I've been out of the dealership world for almost six years so I can’t answer except as using third party responses for that period but my friends that are still in that business might want to differ...

In this day and age would the federal government find support to consider GM & Ford,to big to fail if it comes down to it,I do not think so.

That card was played once before.

The cynic in me says watch for a bankruptcy filing down the road by GM to shed itself of liabilities of ICE production and the formation of a new entity that encompasses the EV switch.

Contract hires and outsourcing, the “new” GM.

Great ROI for the taxpayers.

Yep, butterscotch and white, greaaaaat color combination to honor some small college in this state with no forethought on visibility especially on motorcycle plates. If I remember correctly 1970...

Yeah, DTE is all heart with a thirty five dollar credit for outages lasting four or more days. I’m feeling so warm and fuzzy.

We were out seventy hours almost to the minute. Cost me forty bucks a...

Dameron changed ownership due to the death of the dealer principal, early 70’s thereabouts. Before Bob Sellers Pontiac that was Clohecy and before that it was Currie Pontiac.

I remember that...

Ray,

pretty impressive the plates 66 through 69 with the same numbers!
You had to know someone at the branch office to get those!

In ‘72 I had one of my plates stolen while working at...

Actually it was a pretty easy swap. The 54 already had the torque tube rear axle replaced with a Tri-five rear end with an open driveshaft. Unbolted the factory “tower” engine mount brackets, two...

Im trying to remember too. Motor City Dodge, late 60’s west on Grand River near Schaefer. Mulligan Mercury Grand River near Evergreen.

I’m positive there was a Dodge dealer in that area before the...

14th Precinct was Schaefer north of Grand River, my late uncle was assigned to that one late 40’s/early 50’s. 16th was Grand River and McNichols. Funny story,1969, a friend pulled onto westbound...

RGK20m3,
When you were at Porterfield Wilson I can’t remember the parts manager’s name? He helped me “beat” a defective equipment ticket in ‘71 for exhaust noise as the car I had was factory...

Not much help here but Warhoop’s Salvage on the east side used to get a lot of GM prototype products to scrap out. They are long out of business I think.

Chevrolet.
