Chevy

This is a 1968 Chevy.

Same body style as my dad's 1970 Chevy. Except his was baby blue with a flat bed. My dad, brother, and uncle spent hours re-painting it. Honestly, it was more my brother's truck. He drove it to school, and every great once in awhile he'd give me a ride. We called it the "Toner" - as in one ton, not... isotoner. Sorry, "isotoner" was the best phonetic comparison I could come up with.

I learned how to drive a stick shift in that '70s Chevy. I never would have thought seeing a truck that looks a little like the Toner would have warmed a little part of my heart. It's a shame they didn't have an '89 Pontiac Bonneville! Strange how your first car makes such an impact on your life.


And just for fun, here's a few more photos from the World of Wheels car show in Des Moines this weekend.
