(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Small town cruises are a great way to spend an afternoon or evening seeing some cool stuff and meeting great people.\u00a0 No judging, no stress, no rush.\u00a0 Whether you prefer to take a shady seat near your car or stroll around checking out others\u2019 stuff, it\u2019s the laid-back atmosphere we enjoy the most.\u00a0 We\u2019ll just mention a couple things in this gallery.\u00a0 We followed this snotty-sounding Gran Torino into town and then sought it out later after losing track while parking.\u00a0 It was hard to get a good photo with all the folks that kept checking it out, but eventually waiting paid off.<\/p>\n

The slotted wheels and vinyl top make this thing a timeless street machine.\u00a0 Another car that caught our eye was one of a sort I can remember from my youth.\u00a0 Yeah, the styling might be dated and the turbo 301-poncho is generally considered one of the worst engines GM ever built, but\u2026\u2026when I was a teen this was one of THE cars kids my age drooled over.\u00a0 The fire chicken on the hood, the \u2018turbo\u2019 wheels, and the engine turned dash were all the rage back then.\u00a0 Examples of clean, late 2nd<\/sup>-gen F-bodies are few and far between so we have to give kudos to folks who will save at least one for future generations to view.\u00a0 Classy ride in my book.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
