    What is that little blue wagon? A toyota? A mazda? Maybe an opal? I bet it could potentially get the jump on the Challenger off the line, but after that it wouldn't stand a chance.

    It’s only hope is that maybe the Challenger is a 225 automatic

    Looks like an early Toyota Corolla to me - -'69/'70-ish

    The local Shakey's Pizza in Danville, IL was caught using horsemeat in their pizzas. They are long defunct now.

    They were quite popular in So Cal. I happened to be working at a Chevy dealer when they first showed up in late August of '72. I liked them at the time, but now I prefer the styling of the previous generation - clean and simple.
