ROAD TRIP! Picking up a 1968 Pontiac Catalina
My son loves the road sofas, and after his apprenticeship program and gainful employment, he celebrated with the purchase of a Large Barge. A car so big, the licence plate is a zip code. The spare tire is another, smaller car, that fits in the trunk. It even has a tiny little car orbiting it. Everything is uphill, because the Earth bows under the weight of it. The kind of car you need a to make an appointment to fill it. It cost more to park it, because the length of it takes up so many marking meters. And he loves it!

@@GregWellwood Yeah I prefer the 2-door also, plus the way the body work is alittle different at the back sail panel and window and the window is more a fastback style, probably not as practical but much better style to me lol
Looks better at the end next to the modern day traffic.
Don’t know if you or your son picked the music, but I dig it….
Wow, what a great video! My first car was a 1968 Pontiac Catalina! I learned a lot about wrenching on cars on it. Wish I still had it. Hope your son enjoys it. I enjoyed mine until I blew up the trans for the second time and wasn't willing to go through the pain of replacing it again. It takes a lot to blow up a TH400. I don't know if it is more work, but having captions available on a video makes things easier on my old, tired ears. My mother told me that listening to that loud rock and roll music would ruin my hearing, but would I listen? Noooooooo!

Normally I have videos queued up in advance enough to get captions out as well. Not so this time. Captions will be up soon. Soon like now. Enjoy!

Today we got the horn working. ALL the contact connections in the wheel AND the column were corroded.
My high school "girlfriend" was a '68 Fastback GT Mustang, wrecked it street racing (stoopid yes, but I wasn't always wise). Sold it mostly in pieces and although I kept the hot motor, it got stolen. At least the rest of her had the decency never to be seen again. Many classmates of a large class asked after that car, later.
After driving a Civic, that car is like night and day different. What made young Heisenberg want to go in that direction vs the suped-up Preludes so many Honda guys prefer?

Genes, I think (grin).
It's 2024. When are tire shops going to stop using those ugly h1950's weights that hang out on the outside rim of the car. You can see them in the video preview when driving down the road. They have stick on weights now dude. They stick on the INSIDE of the wheels so you don't see them. SMH.

You don't ask for them; they don't do them. We didn't ask; they didn't do. I do stick-ons on the back side of all my pretty painted wheels.
