Why do we like this car? When we were in highschool, we were like any other small town kids. We went to every movie we could and almost always every one of them had nice convertibles transporting the actors, creating a strong desire in us to someday own one. That desire was satisfied when we saw this brown beauty on the showroom floor of Northcutt Chevrolet in Enid, Oklahoma, March 4, 1974. It has been driven in 28 states by ourselves and our 4 children over the past 36 years.
We have been members of the Capital Carriages, Helena, Montana chapter of The Montana Pioneer Antique and Classic Car Club for the past 20 years and can’t tell you what a great time we have had with our friends from all over the state.
