Winter Storage Liberation

05snopro440 · Apr 8, 2023

Spring has felt slow to arrive this year. I liberated these three from my quonset yesterday and took each one around the block of our subdivision. There's still a lot of sand, salt and gravel on the roads, which will get swept in the next month or so, but it felt good to get them out.

86 Caprice Classic Brougham, 62 Bel Air, and 1982 S10. Owned 17, 19, and 22 years.

For those in the same boat, feel free to show what you've liberated from storage this spring.

Nice !

I like the '86 the best; they're all nice to own.

A friend owned a Parisienne Brougham , same color, with velour interior.

Comfort. 8^)

It's fun to let them make noise again. I did a few hard launches in the driveway and putted around town this morning myself. I had planned on going to cars and coffee but had more digging to get it out than I was expecting. It's out now.

Yeah the Brougham has the nice extra padded seats, it's a really comfy car. I have it stupid low (crossmember is 3" off the ground and has lots of road rash), but still a fun car to drive.

In the mid 80's I purchased 2 1977 "his and her" Caprice Chevys for wife and I.

I drove the faded high miles four door with the "don't ding my door, B word" keyed into the passenger side with the 305.

But for the wife, she drove the 60,000 original miles creampuff two door with the straight 6. I wish I had that 2 door now.
