It was a Plymouth Belvedere 1964 with a 426 hemi. Mom climbed in and commenced to putting two black ribbons of rubber down in front of our house. It was the only time she did that, but she wanted to make sure she had the power at her disposal should the need ever arise. He bought her a 67 impala ss 427 one year and a 69 Dodge Coronet with a 440 police interceptor another time. Watching these three women makes me wonder. What were shopping trips with my mom, grandmother and aunts like when us kids weren't with them. Might explain why I always had someone hunting me down on a Friday or Saturday night wanting to race.
