Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program Car Donation Review
“Not happy to be without it but someone else will get the same pleasure that I have enjoyed all these years.”
I am not a writer but here is the history of me and 57 Chevys:
1. I learned to drive in my family 57 Chevy in 1964. Tan 57 straight stick on the column.
2. This is my 2nd 57 Chevy to own.
3. Both were used on Beale St. Memphis at RUM BOOGIE CAFE to shuttle customers to and from events in downtown Memphis.
4. I drive it most every other day and enjoy the feel of that 283 engine and rumble that no auto has today.
5. Each day I take it out for a spin people wave and I think back to those good ole days when life was simple and gas 50 cents a gallon.
6. Not happy to be without it but someone else will get the same pleasure that I have enjoyed all these years.
Thank You, Preston!
