The Outrageous Muscle Car Years; Bellbottoms, Pistol-Grip Shifters, and Plum Crazy Colors!
The AMC AMX in Big Bad Blue, Big Bad Green, and Big Bad Orange. A great
example of the OUTRAGEOUS colors of the muscle cars years. This Week's Blog is a Guest Post by Wayne Davis from Colorado AMX Motorsports! This April is coming up soon and will mark my 40th wedding anniversary. My wife and I were recently going through a shoebox of old pictures and found some pictures of us, our friends, and a lot of relatives at the wedding reception. Some of the pictures are a little embarrassing. I got married in a rented baby blue leisure suit type outfit with a lace frilled shirt sticking out of the lapels, a white belt, and white rented shoes. I think the suit even had bell bottoms, and don't laugh because it was cool in 1972! My old friends caught in some of the photographs had 70's style sideburns and wore leisure suits and wide hip hugging belts. Looking back, those were the outrageous years. Everything about that time was "mod," "psychedelic," and "outrageous," and that applied to clothes, haircuts, the lingo ("Groovy man"), and cars... Home of the world's best muscle car podcast.
