My song "Route 66". Not to bore anyone, I bought a decade ago a basket case 1960 Corvette 3 years of work to restore it to its original color and trim. I'm lucky to have a large machine shed in which farm equipment was worked on. Even made a paint booth for this and other vettes me and wife restored.

Joe, when you selected the Car Hop Theme at the inaugaration of this continuing thread, I really liked it a lot. It screams the 50's, my favorite decade for cars in general and O-Scale model cars in particular. Here's an image of the Ford retractable hard top.

Knew a girl I worked with that had one as well as one I seen around town. Talking about cars in the 50s and 60s, remember when you could order different interior colors besides black, tan and grey's of today. Seems the only ones I see now are Black and Grey. Everything was almost optional then, even seat belts. I remember buying my 641/2 Mustang, dad made me also get seat belts.

Was this GM concept before Ford came out with the Edsel, or was GM thinking of competing with its version? Funny, but after looking at it, it kind of grows on you.

Ken would know this sign very well. I frequented Superdawg's often as they had wonderful french fries as well as hot dogs and hamburgers. Typical drive-in and is still operating.
