[Zmagnette] great time piece shot of Burbank high

[LannM at aol.com]

My first car was a 59 544.  The thing was a tank and more fun that  should 
be legal.

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.
