I am not a writer but here is the history of me and 57 Chevys.
- I learned to drive in my family 57 Chevy in 1964. Tan 57 straight stick on the column.
- This is my 2nd 57 Chevy to own.
- Both were used on Beale St. Memphis at RUM BOOGIE CAFE to shuttle customers to and from events in downtown Memphis.
- I drive it most every other day and enjoy the feel of that 283 engine and rumble that no auto has today.
- 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.
- Not happy to be without it but someone else will get the same pleasure that I have enjoyed all these years.
Preston donated a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air to WKNO through the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program.
Thank you, Preston!
