Steam & Excursion > Southern (T&P) 610

Amazing movie-like sequence at the photo runby. Road this one instead of chasing. Lexington-Louisville Summer 1977. Out on time; back six hours late at midnight. Followed by the usual late-night drive home.

Not a foreign car in the bunch.

5 GM's and a Lincoln. A Lincoln leading the pack, then 3 Chevrolets (Camaro, Malibu, and a Monza). Looks like a Caddy and an Oldsmobile bringing up the rear.

Things have changed. Today you would be lucky to fing 1 ameriacan car out of the 6.

I used to be a Chevy gut. I currently own 2 Toyotas, but still have 2 old Chevys (1948 Coupe & 1950 5 window cab PU)

Monza, would not have thought of that name for anything!

Hate to nit-pick, but thats a Vega, not a Monza...I had a Vega with a small block wedged into it and can honestly say I would have rather driven almost anything else, including a Monza. Ol'610 wasn't the most attractive locomotive in the world, but she sure could put on a show!

Cheers, Dave

You are right. It looks like a 73 Vega (I owned one myself). The Monza didn't come out until 1978. It was just a remake of the Vega, but you could get a V-6.
