Mine was Yellow

Mr Anderson's Porthole '56 T'Bird; we were all jealous

Mr Anderson's Porthole '56 T'Bird; we were all jealous

First to beat the 49 Ford flathead; Chevy 283" V8

In my first drag race i barely beat this; owner bougth a 409 ford the next day

Had one of these in all White

A popular low rider with the Chicano students

Surfers were not quite the in thing so we had no idea the value of this puppy

We did not think of the possibilities for "hooking up" in the back; Hippies brought in in with the Van

Every guy wanted this in a Ford or Chevy

This we might call a classic "Chick Car"

 
There were a few classic custom ones    
  Surfin' Safari single, this song honored the Chevy 409 engine and is one of the most famous muscle car songs. The 409 engine became the hottest car at LAHS


She's real fine my 409
She's real fine my 409
My 409

Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
For I knew there would be a time
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
When I would buy a brand new 409
(409, 409)
Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 40...

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
409 ooooo
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up)

When I take her to the track she really shines
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
She always turns in the fastest times
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
My four speed dual quad posi-traction 409
(409, 409, 409, 409)

Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 40...

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
(409 409 409 409)
Giddy up 409
(409 409 409 409)
Giddy up 409
(409 409 409 409)
