ACID FLASHBACK THURSDAY: 1965 Chevrolet Biscayne
I swear it's not a social call.* And no, I did not park in the back to go unseen by cops or coworkers.
The best things:
- cost $75
- roll down rear windows
- could remove ignition key while the car was running (handy when fighting over who got to use it next)
- straight 6 tractor motor that would run forever
The worst things:
- everything else
- manual steering. Even more fun with a broken idler arm, mqking it a Fox News car (always pulling right)
- straight 6 tractor motor that had about 90 hp
- everything was 5 minutes from failure – paint turning to dust. window cranks spontaneously braking. Starter motor roulette.
Its collossal failures did lead to the acquisition of the Fury, so it’s got that going for it, which is good.
*The building in the background is the famous Downtowner motel, across the street from the BK Lounge.
