What we have here is the '67 Belvedere (a "whale of a lot of car for the money"), the "rich-looking compact" '67 Valiant and the '67 Fury, whose "beauty and luxury make it hard to believe you're in the low-price field."

Last weekend, however, we figured we needed more Belvederes, so Adrian brought five of his favorite B-bodies, including the still-streetworthy Thunderhill 24 Hours of LeMons-bound '66. The Junkyard Boogaloo Boombox was there, the food was excellent, and the A's ended up crushing the Royals like cockroaches. Lesson learned: the more Belvederes, the better the party!
