The hood was painted underneath a confederate flag. American racing gold and chrome bullet hole rims with Dunlop low profile GT Qualifiers 60's all the way around it. Dropped 3 of the stock transmissions drag racing and droping down a gear to pass on the 1/4. My drunken uncle wrecked it in a field and then walked away from it and couldn't remember where it was. That was 1988...fast forward to 2006 and I had been looking for her. I found where she was, only 1 week after she went to the shredder. That really sucked.

 

I hade a 1959 Ford Fairlane 2dr... I was only able to take to
school a few times seeing that it took me half my senoir year to
get it going.... then she craped out on me again right before summer started.

 

Class of '65. Had a '57 Chev BelAir 4-dr. hardtop, colonial cream with a white top, 283 Power-Pack, automatic. Shortly after graduation, I rolled it. After rolling about a thousand times (Or so it seemed), it landed upside-down on a railroad track. It was seriously totaled. I got a scratch on my elbow. Thank God I had installed seat belts in it, and actually used them.
