[Zmagnette] great time piece shot of Burbank high

[Allen Bachelder]

Wow - THREE PV544s, a Midget, a TF, a bulletnose Studebaker, two first-series Corvairs (one of them a station wagon - when did you last see one of them?), an iconic '57 Chevy 2-door hardtop in that ever-so-popular bronze color, and the list goes on. Wouldncha love to see all these in one of those Portuguese barns somewhere?

' Brings back memories of my own PV544. 'Twas a '60 model B16 - not even a B18 - but it was fast enough to stay in front of most 6-cyl American cars of the time. And solid as a rock.  ' Traded it for a '66 Monza 2-door hdtp. I never carried much for the 1st-series Corvairs, but those 2nd-series cars were and remain really good-looking to my eye. Even so, it was NO Volvo. ' Don't know what got into me...

Thanks for sharing, Steve.

> Our son sent this along.  Worth a peak . . . . some good stuff.  Our HS didn’t have a student parking lot, but I don’t think it would have looked this good, had there been one.   Burbank in the 60’s, even today, was/is a pretty “above average” place.   This was a few years after I left HS, but still . . . . some great stuff there.  Surprised a bit to see a couple of those great ol’ PV544 Volvos . . . love those things.  A good car for a HS kid though . . . indestructible and easy to fix.  Love the old trucks too.  I could do another whole life with old trucks.
