roxyObsessive? moi? Hahaha! Maybe....
I spent all of the early part of the evening searching through family photos like a drug-sniffing Shepard in a weed field. I was certain that my pop had a '67 Impala when I was a wee roxy. We totally had a '58, and I was sure that the other Impala was Baby's sibling, but I was wrong. I finally found a pic and turns out, it was a '66. Pretty similar from what I could see but the tail lights are completely different. I know I'll never find a shot of it from the front, but it was abundantly clear that not only were the tail lights different, but the slope from roof to trunk was a bit different as well.
I remember how thrilled he was with the car, but I thought it was an old-fart car at the time. It was two or three years old when we got it, but I remember being sort of impressed that it had four doors. It was a simple time and it didn't take much for us to get all excited. A popsicle, a new comic, poptarts....
Anyhoo, I'm feeling betrayed by my increasingly Swiss-cheese memory. I think I'm gonna have a cup of coffee and a poptart and go to bed.

8/7/15 02:41 pm (UTC)My mom had a 1968 Firebird and oh, it was so gorgeous and growly. I learned to drive in that car, and just loved it to death.
I had been a smarter person, i'd have had the money when they finally decided to sell and have bought it. (It was still cherry-perfect even then, in the early 2000s).
*sigh*
Oh, well. And damn, didn't popsicles taste better when we were kids? Those were *real* posicles! Not the kind you get nowadays.
Damn kids.

And poptarts. They were real poptarts back then, the kind you could really wrap your mouth around. Made of...well, whatever they were made of, god knows they never saw an actual fruit ever. Still. They were good and we were damn grateful to have them. *harrumph*
