Someone turns 50 today
Just wanted to share the birthday girl. ‘Olive’s 350 has a 5/25/72 date code from Flint MI, so I’m calling it her date of birth haha. This has been such a great truck, and I take a lot of pride in preserving it. I’ve owned her for almost a year now, and have gained a good friend, Larry (Hooverfish) since purchasing it from him.

Re: Someone turns 50 today
Awesome. Mine turns 50 early next month. Mine looks a lot more like what you’d expect 50 to look like than yours does
 great looking truck!

Re: Someone turns 50 today
Very nice at 50. I think Highlanders have become one of my favorites or maybe I’m just telling my age.

Re: Someone turns 50 today
Hey Mike, I've gained a good friend too.
Appreciate your great care of Olive also. Love the dog dish & black wall look.

Re: Someone turns 50 today
Hard to believe that people would buy them looking just like that and absolutely run them into the god forsaken ground.
Today if any of us had the chance to buy one like that just-out-of-the-blue like it was a normal thing, we'd have a heart attack and protect it like our first born child.......much less beat the snot out of it, overload it, leave it outside in brutal sun/rain, turn wiring into rats nest with cheapest Kmart radio you can find, etc etc. |
