"...the 55 Pontiac was the last of the Chiefs."
 
No, the 1964 model was the last Star Chief. My wife had one when I met her.

"...this 36 year old would love to own."
 
What?! Do you mean that it was a young man who helped me find all of those black GM"s? You must have some very proud parents out there some place. Thanks again.

Actually, now that I looked it up, 66 was the last Star Chief - the Star Chief Executive. In 67, the Executive dropped the Star Chief name.

"Who thinks technology is a good thing?" "This flu is no joke..."
 
Those comments are really out of character for you. You are always optimistic about the future, and you always say that things will get better soon.
 
I do agree about the flu. My sister and brother-in-law are doctors. They are very worried about it. A friend of theirs at the CDC in Atlanta says it will make the 1918 epidemic seem mild by comparison. The feeling at this point is that when the time comes, self-isolation from other people will be the only way to escape. That means not going to work, ball games, clubs, church, etc. You'll need at least 6 ft. in distance from all other people. It's a pretty frightening thought.

Yes, I stand corrected. It was 1966. Thanks.

kyfdx...Sharonville.....that'd be the one.
 
DId you go?
 
I go every year (along with the one in Lebanon, which combines blues, bbq, and cars...all of my favorites).
 
Sunday was the biggest show I've seen in Sharonville. Lots of good 'ole muscle and some nice customs, too. Plenty of 'vettes and Mustangs.
 
The guy who had the '66 Grand Prix almost hooked me. I got caught up in the moment. After the show, he let me drive it for a little bit...not far...just enough to get a feel for it.
 
Reminds me of how far automobile engineering has come. His was a pristine example in seemingly original condition (but, extremely well maintained). Power steering was a "one finger" affair....not even a hint of road feel. Power breaks were the same....you gave them a press, and you knew something was going on to slow the car, but never sure what that "something" was.
 
Big gobs of torque.
 
He was "asking" $15K for it. But, said he'd take $12K.
 
I know just enough about old iron to make a terrible mistake. So, after returning to the car 3 times, common sense took over and I politely declined. Still have his phone number, though.

Weren't you impressed with the price? The shows that I have attended usually have such high price tags. Bet it was a neat car.
