Today, since my daily driver had a flat and it was in
general pretty decent weather-wise, i decided to take
my '67 crown coupe to work. Despite using nearly 15
gallons of 93 octane in the 150 miles worth of driving
I did today, it was great to drive the old cruiser,
and fun to show her off to my co-workers.
I played a trick on a co-worker, too. I was taking
him out to show him the car, and told him it had a
voice activated seek radio. He was like "no, you're
pulling my leg, right?" Then I turned on the radio,
pointed at it, and said "SEEK!" in an authoritarian
tone. He literally jumped back a foot when the orange
needle began moving and settled on a new station.
"Whoa man, that's amazing...they had that in '67????"
The best part was, after a few times, I came clean and
showed him I was actually tapping the foot switch with
my left toe. And he was still amazed! He thought I
had installed that myself, but I reassured him (not
easy, because he wasn't trusting me very much at this
point!) it was a factory setup.
Ah, the glorious '67!
