great stories and photos on this thread... love those [real wood] Woodies
referring back to my pix... the on-street parking in Philly could be "challenging"
... I do not miss that, and probably can't take credit for getting into that tight spot.
My Dad always said that folks would "park by ear" (these were the days of steel bumpers)... I'm sure you can understand.
That '72 Torino was a thirsty one... IIRC, we were getting 12 to 13 mpg, and we had that car during the 70's gas crisis ($$ ouch)
