Hey those videos are a nice touch to your page......I love seeing the old Bonanza commercials where Chevrolet was the sponsor and you would see the Cartwrites all drive up in a new Chevy....

Oh how I long for the old days.........very nice car...my friend had a 67 Impala with a 6 cylinder and 3 on the tree we used to cruise the circuit...lots of fun

Mario on May 1, 2015 said:

Thanks for your comments. Old car commercials are great. They tell a story of the car. Your Vette is real cool also. Mario

Great looking Impala and a great looking page. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Mario on May 2, 2015 said:

Thank you for your post. I like your 95 Buick. Looks like new in great condition. This was known as the "Doctor's" car in its day!

Chevy sold a million cars in 67 and I am happy to own one today. I checked all the chapters in your index and find them very interesting! Thank you for your post.

Wow, this is so awesome dad! I didn't know you posted your photos of White Lightning. The videos were a lot of fun and gives some great perspective on the car. The photos of it on our old driveway are the best. It looks great in our front yard :)

Mario on Mar 8, 2016 said:

That's a great story about your son biting the dash of your 67 Impala and leaving teeth marks! I have the padded dash on mine and hopefully your car did also!

Mario, what a sweet looking 67 you got. My dad had a 67 Chev wagon as a company car from 67 to 70.

Mario on Aug 18, 2020 said:

My Dad had a 67 Chevy wagon also. Here is a pix of my Dad and his wagon.

Mario, that is such a sweet looking Chevy you got there my brother. I love 67 Full size Chevy's and I kind of grew up with one. From 1967 to 1969, my dad had a 67 Chev wagon as a company car. Even though my dad, as of 1967 had a new 1967 Buick Special sedan and a 1957 Pontiac sedan that he bought in 1959. The 67 Chev wagon to me as a kid looked super huge. I remember the car being white and having a blue interior. It had small hub caps, so it must have been a lower model of wagon. Cheers.

Mario on Oct 29, 2020 said:

Thank you so much for your words. My Dad too had a 67 Chevy wagon which you can see in my Tribute to my Dad's car page I made. It was huge and great for his job as well. Mario

57timemachine on Oct 29, 2020 said:

Mario, I forgot to mention that I have a 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon that my dad bought in May 1974. It is featured here on American Torque. You may want to check it out. You and I have some stuff in common. Both our dads bought Chevy full size wagons and we are both Chevy gear heads. Cheers.

Mario on Oct 29, 2020 said:

I just saw your 74 Caprice it's really grand! What a beauty and in beautiful condition. Such a rare car. My Dad had a 72 Chevy wagon which I later bought from him! Regards, Mario

Hey, Mario. I've been looking at all the pictures of your '67 Impala. Nice ride! I was going to include a few pix of my touring buddy's blue '67 with this comment, but it appears I can't include pix when I post a comment to your page. Any suggestions?

Mario on Feb 13, 2021 said:

That's right we can't post pictures on our comments only on our pages. Post the pix on your page and I'll see it. Cheers, Mario

Very sharp Impala. Always liked Impalas. Had a 63 Impala SS my last year in high school. Winter is just tooooloooong! I should post a few car show pictures myself! Take care Mario.

Mario on Feb 26, 2021 said:

Thanks Ray. I love taking her to car shows and meeting up with fellow gear heads. My Dad had a new 63 Chevy wagon and shortly after I got my license. So my big dates were in his borrowed wagon until I saved enough to get my own car.

Hi Mario - - I tried to post a comment to you but it ended up on my own site - -- I'm a newbie here so not up to speed yet. Fred ALexander

Mario on Mar 25, 2021 said:

Hi Fred, just saw your post and thank you for all the nice comments on my 67 Impala. Spring is trying to come out here in NY and I am seeing convertibles with their tops down, a good indication! Regards, Mario

57timemachine on Mar 25, 2021 said:

Spring time when a young and old mans fancy turns to.......no not that. Cars cars cars, old cars that is. Cheers.

Mario on Mar 26, 2021 said:

Yes cars, cars, cars, old cars! Don't Crush them, Restore them. Cheers.

Thanks, It is a nice site! Joel

57timemachine on Feb 5, 2023 said:

Hey Mario, are there any more recent updates on your 67 Impala. Have you done or changed anything on the 67. Cheers.

Mario on Feb 6, 2023 said:

No updates George to my 67 Impala. I just keep it maintained and drive it when I can and go to the car shows in the warmer weather.

It's a great Cruiser and I get a lot of Thumbs Up when I take it out. I'm sure you get the same with your 57 Pontiac. It's a beauty! Cheers, Mario

Anonymous on Jul 9, 2023 said:

I heard through the old car grapevine (Rob), that you sold your 67. Mario, give us all the dirty laundry on that situation. I hope you are going to replace that fine Chevy with even a finer Chevy. By the way I forgot to login on A.T. and this is George 57Timemachine. Cheers.

Mario on Jul 10, 2023 said:

Yes I did sell White Lightening to a younger couple with 3 children and they fell in love with it so it's in good hands. Just Time to move on.

Since I downsized 3 years ago from my house with a 2 car garage to a Condo I had to rent a garage for the car. Just too much.

I will go to the car shows with my brother John and his 68 Corvette convertible and enjoy the ride and company. It's much easier this way for me. Cheers, Mario

57timemachine on Jul 10, 2023 said:

Mario, only you know what is best for you in your happy place. I hope you are living your dream and in a content place in the process. Good to see you can still enjoy the hobby with your brother and his oldie. Cheers to you sir.

Mario on Jul 11, 2023 said:

I am in a Happy place living my dream and will always enjoy a good car show and those forever classics. They are here to stay and will always bring joy to many of us. Cheers, Mario
