I miss my 56. It was one of the fastest cars in town in the late 60's---327/300 hp. 4 speed with posi. ---until the local town "rich" kid showed up with a 426 Biscayne Chevy.

My first car was a 1966 Chevy Biscayne but it had the crappy little 6 cylinder. It was ... not fast.

I remember J C Whitney but not Warshawsky. Was that regional?

I'm not sure how that worked--maybe Warshawskys bought out JC Whitney ---or visa versa. That picture shows both names on that store.

I think JC Whitney was the mail order catalogue that Warshawskys started up. Delivered a ton of JC Whitney back in the day. Ecklers used to send out quite a bit for the corvette crowd.
