And the kids standing up that way took me away back to my childhood when we stood up hanging over the front seats by times and driving parents crazy.

My ex-husband had a 1970 Dodge Challenger that he got for his high school graduation. He and his father redid the car together so it had even more sentimentality than something purchased himself.<br /><br />We would go to car shows all the time and I just loved seeing all of the beautiful oldies.
