You Remember My Old Chevy?

You Remember My Old Chevy? Classic 1967 Chevy Impala parked on a country road in front of a double wide trailer. Chem trails in the sky at dusk.Monochrome image by George Cosmos Wagner.

You Remember My Old Chevy? Nice car, green on green. Had the 350. Ran like a top and everything worked. It's downfall was the tons of road salt we throw on the roads to make them passable by the oldies and the trendies.

1956 Cadillac Sedan in Green

1956 Cadillac Sedan (Series 62) in Green by George Cosmo Wagner	   Big, beautiful American cars are part of the history of the 1950's. This green 1956 Cadillac Sedan Series 62 was powered by a 365 cubic inch V-8, 285 horsepower engine mated to a 4 speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. Worried about fuel economy? The Caddy got eight to ten miles per gallon around town, maybe 15 with a tailwind on the highway. Still- big, beautiful, powerful and green. Image by George Cosmo Wagner
