    That’s a pretty Chevy. I think Artesian Turquoise was one of my favorite ‘60’s Chevy colors. We had a ‘66 Impala wagon that color.

    Indeed very nice. Love that color as well but it’s hard to say....I’m partial to the tricked out redneck version with the scoop and is that c.b. Radio antenna on the back? Pretty cool:thumbs2:

    The ‘66 Bel Air In the driveway is Artesian Turquoise as well. That ‘91 Vette teal is very close. Great car, great story. Boy now I am gonna have to post some pictures. Chevelle427 has got me motivated. And OrthmannJ is gonna embarrass me till I do.

    First Car: 1975 Ford LTD Country Squire in Light Green Gold Metallic. It was a honey. Lots of ribbing in high school about that car, but when a bunch of us wanted to go to the movies, they always looked to me to drive. It had been my Dad's car. Mom hated it because of the puke green color. I was actually quite fond of it. That's probably why I have one of the same year and model today.

    I don't know if "embarrass" is the right term. Perhaps "pester mercilessly" would better suit.

    So. Where's them pictures?

    He only wrote that he's going to have to. Not that he will do so.
    One of these was my first car. But, in two-toned dark red. Mine never had the bumper bars. This is the first time I've ever noticed these

    Wow.... no I think embarrass and pester mercilessly might be all rolled into one. Lol. Hopefully Mr Moparandfomoco, will back me up. The weather in New Mexico has been absolutely horrific since last Thursday. My Dear OrthmannJ. I am sadly still stuck in Phoenix. Now I don’t want all of you Northerners/Notheastern types to feel pity for me. It’s not Minneapolis, but with the road clearing capabilities of New Mexico (one Hoyt Clagwell) tractor with a blade, and a can of Morton salt tied to the back. It could be be a few days before my return. You missed your calling Mr. Orthmann. You should have been a bookies muscle guy. Lol you will be the absolute first person I alert when I post pictures of the diamond/Bermuda blue Town Sedan to this here thread. Please Quito. Give me a few days to raise the pictures?

    Do any of you know where the Hoyt-Clagwell tractor is from? Just a deversionairy tactic to throw OrthmannJ off the scent.
