Before there was OPEC and the early 70's oil crisis.... just barely a teen, 0.25/gal.
THose were the days.. seatbelts were optional, kids played in the back seats, and a V8 got around 10 mpg and went zoom with realitely low tech. I know we are much safer and high tech now, but there was a simplicity to driving a car that has been lost for the ages....
people tuned their cars by hand and tweaked their carbs... for fun and a few extra hp...no one cared about gas prices!!!!!
