It’s the summer of 1962 in LA as a motorist idles patiently at the Corona Avenue grade crossing. The vehicle is a 1958 Impala Sport Coupe powered by a 348-cubic-inch, Tri-Power engine with a Powerglide transmission and dual exhaust. Mileage? 9 mpg!
That year the Rams drafted Roman Gabriel and Merlin Olsen. Chubby Checker hit the charts with “The Twist”.
Nice. Would the sky in LA be that clear a blue in the age before the Clean Air Act? Must be a post cold front day.
