When I drove my 1950 3600 back from California in the late 70's, I towed a '57 Chevy station wagon. It was early Sunday morning someplace in new Mexico and I was stopped at a traffic light. A '60 Chevy sedan with a couple of latino guys in it pulled up next me and the passenger with his arm hanging out over the door looked both of my vehicles up and down and said, "Man, California has been good to you".
