This was my first car. It was a white 1962, with an early Chevy V8 with solid lifters and a three speed Chevy transmission. It was fast and put me in the hospital for weeks. I told this story to Ron Shimek, and he said his first car was a 1961 Alfa Romeo 2000 also with the same Chevy 283 V8 in it. His car survived his ownership, mine did not. These are very handsome cars designed by Giovanni Michelotti. Visit Ron at his shop in North Austin.
Took in a movie with my Ma at Magnolia Theater on McKinney Rd. in N. Central Dallas. Noticed a few cars that were a bit out of the ordinary. The 1963 Thunderbird was joined by a trio of new Lamborghinis.
Really impressive, Engine No. 6 from Canton, Ohio. Last two photos are period photos of this very truck at its first assignment in Canton.
