It's fall 1961 and our neighbor just got his 62 Biscayne 409-409 after trading in his 61 Impala 348. I'm 15 years old and live for Chevrolets and their 'W' motor cars. I ask my dad to buy our neighbors used 61 Impala from the dealership down the street and he says 'NO' I'm driving an Oldsmobile and not about to buy a Chev. (Dad was one of the local pharmacists and image was a concern). So I ask my mom to talk to dad and see if she can convince him to get the Impala (white, red strip, and red interior.)

Fast forward forty years to 2002 and I finally find a similar 61 Impala in #1 condition and convert it to a 348, 3 deuces and a 4 speed.

In the early 50's Toronto, Canada (West End) had 'Sunnyside' an amusement park with a real fair (games, rides) atmosphere.

An attendant waved you in when showing two headlights. One day to my surprise the second headlight on my car was out and I completed several additional laps before the attendant caught me. 70+ years later I still love to drive. happy motoring everyone BJ ...
