Growing up in Chicago in the 60's

[John Tyson]

Thanks for pointing me this thread Orlando!

The pictures posted directly above are of My Fathers 66 L78, who ordered the car new in the spring of 66. I'd be very interested to find out when Eddie purchased his L78, since as stated above, my Dad traded the chevelle in for a new 69 440 Dart. How many identical artesian turquoise L78 Chevelles could there have been in Chicago back then.

The car was pretty much stock when my Dad had it, with the exception of headers, an electronic ignition and maybe gears and a shifter. The best he ever ran with it was very high twelves. It was his daily driver. It was an original bench seat car and would have been missing the horn button when he got rid of it. (I've got it on my 66 Chevelle now) This would be amazing if it was the same car. I can't wait to show my Dad this picture.

Thanks for posting them Eddie.
John.
