A Car and a hard-to-find CD

1.) I am trying to remember the make/model of a car my mom used to drive. It was a 1960's era 4-door sedan, American make, probably Chevy or GM. (I don't think it was a Ford because I would have remembered the logo.) The only distinguishing feature I can remember is that it had a a knob you turned on the speedometer to warn you if you were going ( Read more... )

song, automobile

Regarding the car part, I believe you're thinking of a "speed warning indicator." Not sure if this will help you narrow down the car part, however, because it appears it was installed on lots of different cars including some Oldsmobiles and 1967-1969 Camaros, 1968-1972 Chevelles, 1968-1972 Novas, 1968-1972 Chevrolet & GMC Trucks, as well as '60s era Corvettes.

Sorry I can't help with the song.

Thank you for the suggestions. At least I can narrow it down a little bit now. I am wondering if it was an Olds; I'm afraid there is no pic, and all I remember is that "Mom's Car" was a 'tan' four-door sedan.

Thank you for the suggestion. I am really hoping to find a cd though because cds are more 'real' to them than mp3s and other e-things are.

We had a Buick Roadmaster that had the speed warning indicator. Cannot remember what year it was, though.

Thank you for the suggestion. I am going to look at some of the pics and see if that helps me remember anything.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll give it a look but they really prefer cds to e-music.

Oh, buh, I'm sorry... I misread your post and thought you were making them a mixtape. Erm, mix-CD.

I second the comment about downloading it from youtube. Keepvid dot com is another good site for doing that.

Thank you for the suggestion. I may have to do that if all else fails.
