My cousin had a 68 Chrysler New Yorker like below, but dark green and a dark vinyl top. It had a 440 in it w/a 4 bbl Holley, not Carter, I believe, and positraction rear end. On the weekends he would often go take people's money or embarrass hot shots. Pull up to a red light in a car like that next to some hot rod with an overinflated ego behind the wheel and it's totally embarrassing to get blown away by a huge mom and pop looking car. He used to tape a $10 bill to the dash and if you could reach up and grab it when he took off you cold keep it. Never happened. A friend of his was a county policeman and they raced on a barely used part of an expressway late one night. His friend in the police car said he gave up once they got over 140 miles an hour and my cus was puling away. I assume this story to be true.
I like my cars like I like my women, blocky and rectangular....

Did they do a four door version - I mean this one just isn't big enough
That’s a beauty! Ive got one of those Artec Mudbuckers. Just need to figure out which bass it should go in.
Can seeDifferent pic (for Ken) this time.
Can’t seeAnd another from my pics.
Höh…. No picYes, a '62. Body was a refin. The only way it would be affordable. Finish is worn off the back of the neck and feels fantastic.
Weird. I 'seed' bofum.Can’t see
4 doors are not now nor will they ever be cool....
That could very well be the problem right there.
I see it. A mod asked you to post such racy pictures???Just a test. Obviously not mine. Bryan (Mod) was asking.
I'm digging things(slowly) out of my old photobucket account........
A very old picture of The Nasty Habits, we're playing the sweatiest dive in Pt Angeles, WA. "The Crazy Fish" - utter mayhem, I love it. There's a Thunderbird headstock in there somewhere!
Found it! Do I get a prize?

Not there...I mentioned to Bryan that there seems to be no real pattern to what's going on. He said, "If the issue is with photos hosted elsewhere there’s probably nothing we can do about it unfortunately- that would likely be a server/sharing issue with the host site."
That would make sense if the problem were consistent. Change in my pic's hosting site (google) would seemingly cause all pics to have the same problem, if the problem were the host site. But his is not true. Some pics do appear just fine. Nor does that seem to explain why some see them with one device and later not (always on another device?), and vice versa. Had the two from some other site worked and mine didn't, that would make sense. I don't blame him for not knowing for sure. I understand he just has to go on what he sees and is probable.
Another from my cloud site...
Woo Hoo! Congrats!
Niggle on the Gibson part... Having a side mounted jack, not a front mounted jack, is it a Gibson or an Epiphone with a Gibson TRC? Bigger, more experienced brains here will know.
