Very nice. In high school one of my friends, John had a '66 396 Caprice coupe that his grandmother gave him. It was pristine and factory. Black vinyl over light blue, automatic, fully loaded. Nice, nice, nice. My best friend, Blaine's grandmother gave his mother a '66 327 Impala coupe, all light green. Nice car, grandmother took excellent care of it, pretty much didn't even drive it to church on Sundays because her daughter did did in her then '68 Olds 88 330. Then my best buddy got hold of it and trashed it. Just trashed it because it was free to him, I guess. I always loved the '66 because we had one too, a light yellow four door sedan, 283. The '66 Impala and Caprice were favorite full sizers to me, behind the 68' Impala and Caprice. I had a '68 427 Impala coupe, factory four speed, last year for a manual in a full sized Chevy. I loved that car for a lot of reasons. A couple of years ago I happened across a 68' Caprice almost identical to my Impala, same black vinyl over maroon, same 427, same 4 speed, same black vinyl seats, same everything except nicer Caprice trim. When I saw it, I swore someone got hold of my Impala and cloned it into fake Caprice trim, but it wasn't. That one was a Caprice from a place down in Houston that was asking $11,000 for it and like a moron I wasn't on a plane down there to buy and pick it up. Stupid, stupid, stupid me. Back in the '60's, you could order them "custom" through dealers and there would be a small plaque on the dash that would say, "Customer Ordered For..........." (Your name). One of our close family friends used to get a new custom ordered Caprice every year. Last one before she passed away was a 1970 400, fully loaded, same plaque on the dash "Customer Ordered For Muriel Nielson". I don't know, maybe 1970 was the last year could customer order them and get the plaque? I never saw one before or after her, and every year in her new Caprices.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
