Wow, there are a few Belairs in this post. This may be a stupid question but what does "3 on the tree" mean?

Not a stupid question if you are under 35 years old. It is a three speed stick shift on the steering column.

1963 Impala SS

It was white with a RED interior( there is a pattern here for those who know me)

Had a 4 speed on the floor.

Mom would not let me have the 1966 Barracuda that I wanted. She wanted me in a big full size car and my Uncle Archie kinda pulled a fast one on her.

I got it for my 16th bithday and it cost $750 dollars in 1968. It was sooooo pretty. and it was stolen 6 months later.. I took the insurance money and bought a sports car .. a 1959 TR-3A. Now buying a British SportsCar with a Lucas heater in it in Wisconsin in October was NOT a smart move. I ended up parking it for the winter and getting a beater with a heater.

That wasn't happen to be a 396, was it?

Three speed transmission, shifter on the steering column. Like my first, a 1966 longbed chevy pick-up. I got so frustrated triyng to learn how to drive it, I would kill the battery every other day by putting it in first gear and holding the ignition key over so that the starter would pull me up the driveway. I was (am) such a dumbass

I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

A 1976 Delta 88 was my second car...

I had one of those ratty red tricycles for awhile, but I really consider my first vehicle to be my Big Wheel cuz chick dug that. I then got a tricked out Schwinn banana-seater for Christmas when I was eight and that was awesome, until those "motocross" bikes came out and then I had to beg for my mom to get me one of those.

Then many years later, I got a 1993 Honda Civic.

1966 Saab 96. 3 cylinder 2-stroke engine. Had to add oil to the gas when I filled it up. Front wheel drive before it became popular after the oil crisis of the 70s. Sold it to buy a Honda Accord when they were first introduced in 76 - bought one of the first 21 in Seattle.Both of them were great cars.

I liked that Saab so much, that's what I drive now, a 91 9000.

[AndyMan 7]

1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass GT - 3.8L V6. Coupe, bucket seats, floor shifter. It woulda been SWEET it if hadn't been such a piece of shit. After that car I vowed I'd never buy American cars again.

I replaced it with a 95 Honda Prelude, and now just bought a 2003 Honda Element.

No the 396 came out late 60's...mine was the big V-8 of the early 60's great big convoluted valve covers..409.and no it was not the 348 or the 327 small block. My Uncle was a car guy... but he was into Goats and mom was not having any of that either.
