I just cant figure out why todays car mfgs. think electronics is the only cool thing for a car. How about chrome, leather, space, hand grips, carpeting and SIZE!!! If people buy SUVs, trucks and vans..why wouldnt they buy station wagons and "boats".

That's what a friend posted on FB and I don't think he really wanted an answer but I took a stab at a guess and after I did others started to guess. Of course I'm not car person so I figured I would ask the experts. My guess is a '90s to mid '90's, Chevrolet Lumina ...... which I've dubbed El Lumina. We don't know the answer officially as my son's friend posted the pic on FB and I guess he saw it in a parking lot somewhere. Anyone???

An old friend called yesterday and asked about the car He has known I've had it 30 years. Now he wants to buy it as it sits and I don't have to do anything to it. I forgot that I bought my son a new gas tank and he installed it but it has old gas in it. It should clean up easily. The 3 carbs have been rebuilt, re-installed and never fired, so no bad gas in them. My friend wants me to let him look at the car tomorrow. He just needs to know that if I sell it, it will NOT be wholesale/fire sale price.

I researched the mags on ebay and on line. Seems individual mags can go for $5. And in lots..2-3 each. So I will post on Craigs choice for $5. And then sell the rest off in a lot for whatever I can get. Some are cool that have ways to build hot rods. Or tech tips for your carbs or to patch a radiator.

Says the tires had to be taken off the rims to re-bead to hold but nice shape. Little damage to fiberglass nose but otherwise nice shape. He said maybe it needs paint. I said go for it. He has tons of paints from Lyman. His brother gave it all to Joe. He said the canopy is OK, but home made. And bad around trees. I said so one is careful with a truck in the woods, why not the cart. So now I can ride around the spread in style. $500 for a 1k cart is a good deal. Nice to know people.

orz Portage, WI 66, joined Jul. 2010	It is a two cycle gas engine. He said it is running well. fiberglass has breakage but easy to fix. Trailer hitch so I can pull my big lawn cart. Has a forward gear and reverse gear. Step on gas and it starts and goes. Off and it kills. No idle..common way for golf carts. We expected Weaver would ask a grand. He has a bug up his and wants stuff GONE! His family sold off the farm and each got like a million bucks or something. So he immediately went nuts and blew it. And now whines he is SOOOO broke and has to sell stuff. Have to luv idiots dont cha!? Joe is at the Power Tour. Some cars there that are cool but not that much really. They head off tomorrow in the rain. My husband nephew said he was riding with a buddy. See how long he could go in the back of a classic Mustang til he gave up and took the bus home.

All for show ......... which I guess if that's what you're into, that's all well and good. I DON't like the low profile tires on the back either. Now #3 .... that is more to my liking ... I'm a little more traditional. Funny I'm more the classic style then the custom. Once in awhile there will be a custom job I really like. But never enough to do so on my bike. It's always fun to get out and check out the bikes thought. Looks like you had a nice time.

He took his truck and brother his coupe Pontiac just to run them before the haul to the 50s. Lots of cars but lots of newer ones. Maybe a 1000. I said they are ALL doing the tour? He said it grows yearly so many probably are. The nice part of it is that people can do one day and then go home. Not all do the entire states run planned for the year. He got home by 2 he texted. And then called later..they had driven over to the main drag and set up chairs to sit and watch traffic. A couple other gearheads found them and parked to sit also. And they sat til 11PM. He said it got cold..friends had blankets and sweats. I said as a biker I learned long ago what happens in spring and fall when sun goes down. He said there were cars cruising. He said my ADHD would never have left me sit that many hours. For sure!!! I did see one car in the Dells...NICE..big land cruiser Buick 4 hole convert..in the mid 70s.

United States Navy, 1985–1995 The Grayfox started life in 1985 as a 120-foot Torpedo Weapons Retriever, one of ten. She was assigned to the United States Navy's Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Center (AUTEC), Andros Island, Bahamas, where her job was to launch and retrieve test torpedoes and targets. Eventually, as torpedoes became less of a threat, the Navy decided to mothball her in 1995. She was then sent to Green Cove Springs, Florida, where a group of sponsors found her and decided the Sea Cadets needed their own ship to train on. The Secretary of the Navy transferred the USNS Grayfox to the USNSCC on August 15, 1997. More detail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USNSCS_Grayfox_%28TWR-825%29 [Edited 6/13/2015 5:41:21 PM ]

I figured it out..owned the 59 for 33 years. No wonder there will be a hole in the line! And the profit I made works out to 4% per year. Now why did we not invest in cars instead of banks???? I told Joe wish we had bought more to store. He said he wishes he had been like Tony. And paid more for better to sell higher. I said but, we didn't have the cash back then to speculate. And who would have imagined these prices. If we bought cheap and made profit..good thing. If we took a bath..oh well..not out that much. He said he always had the money..just never spent it. But, we both get ticked at Tony. He buys a dream car..great deal..this one is a keeper. And two weeks later...it is sold off. Fast turn over is his style. I cant do that. If I buy it is cause I like and want. A sale is good only to buy something you like better. And I dont see any I want more than what I have. Maybe in addition to..... Bad part is I think the purchase amount back then bought more than the sell amount does today.
