Great snapshots!
I've got some somewhere, but don't have a scanner yet. Will post them when I can.
Keep them coming, this is such fun, although I'm spending way too much time fooling around here (lol).
Goodnite!
Barb

Paul,
My 1st was a 49 too-you can barely make it out-except it was pea green with a white top and sunvisor. must've been fishing with my dad. That's his 61 buick- the 56 Buick was mine. I sold it when I went into Army. Great car-but dynaflow tranny was not cool.
nice 55 Ford roadrunner. I bet you'd like to have it now.
Gonna drag out the others sometime-Had a 50 chev ,2 49 fords, 1 51 merc. 1 49 willys jeep, one 58 willys jeep, a GTO and Mustang besides what you see. Had a thing about cars.
someone tell me why the box is so big. wr

Maybe that's the size of the scanner bed.
Buicks were cool. Rainman comes to mind. Always liked the way they carried that porthole and grill theme year after year. Straight eight! That Dynaflow didn't shift did it? Couldn't have been worse than Powerglide.
49 Chevy- 2 piece hood- hard to customize and look good. Upperclassman had a dark metallic green 47 Chevy Convert. , custom. Come to think of it he's now a quad and runs a van adapting business in IL.
I think he flipped a drag boat or something.
Dashing- class rings? the adhesive tape and fingernail polish? Was that happening where you all lived? Bench seats certainly had their advantages- keep'm waxed for hard right turns.

Paul, we used yarn to wear the guys ring. Oh, and carried clear nail polish to stop runs in our stockings. Shoot I'm so old, when I started wearing "stockings" we still wore garter belts. (I was allowed as a right of passage on Easter Conformation and graduation, in 6th grade. Tried a lot to wear them to school in 7th, but mostly hid them under knee scocks to get by my Mom for school but allowed for dances. I think she gave up by 8th. Pantyhose weren't available until around 9th grade! dash

Hey Dash - I don't remember pantyhose in high school, I must be older than you,lol but the garter belt was a necessary item for sure. We used to wear angora sweaters tucked into our flared skirts with a wide belt to really make our waist look tiny, and wore our bf's ring on a chain or little scarf around the neck. Couldn't wait to get out of class when my bf drove his dad's car to school to go for a little cruise. We somehow always ended up on the lookout (a little lovers lane). Ahhh memories. To be continued. - Barb

My husband listens to the oldies station (I usually have children's cds running in my car, but listen to country if I get a chance!). So today we were out looking at houses and I realized all the songs from high school were on the oldies station!
