Tyler,

Former Corvair driver, 15 years worth, here.

Here’s the one we had...400 and dual exhausts from the factory.

Champagne with Palomino seems to be a very common combination with these 123s.

Aww, that’s so cute!

My parents bought a ‘58 Montclair 4 dr sedan about 1964. It had the 330hp 383 engine and would run all day at 70-80 without breaking a sweat.

I came of driving age in the Bay Area just as the ‘73 shortages hit. Gas went from 34 cents to 78 cents almost overnight.

One of the cycle mags back in the day reported the Honda engineers developed an exhaust system for the CBX that, in their words, “like an F4 Phantom”.

Since I learned to drive on mom’s 1962 Dynamic 88, I’ve had a soft spot for Oldsmobiles. That 394 was a stump puller of an engine. It was just a bread and butter car as were all the Oldsmobiles I’ve owned later..but they always felt more substantial than lesser GM makes.

My 1980 Olds Omega had those on the 2.8 V6...what an awful setup. There were reed valves inside the modules that kept the air going in the right direction....until they broke. Then you had exhaust gases blowing back into the valve cover.

Hmmm...

Same engine in my 2001 Avalon. Bought at 123k.

Mike,

The straps are for an unloading device that you turn with a crank, which isn’t shown. You unroll a nylon drag sheet all the way to the front of the bed, fill up the bed and when you get to the dump site, drop the tailgate and crank away. Capacity is about a ton.

Lest we forget...

I see a B-17g tail turret somewhere in that center stack.

C’mon. ‘58 Edsel wagon taillight. I dare ya!

The stylized version reminded me of the Blohm und Voss BV141 reconnaissance plane the Luftwaffe used in WW2..

Take your star.

Lakewoods are cute as all getout but a bad choice here.
