Jap crap. Toyota will never be a successful car company in the US. Them gooks will never figure out how to build a car with the same quality as a Ford, Chevy or even Studebaker.

Toyota is just a fad, they'll go away.

pre war cars were still really expensive in 1960's money.

You realise just how many of them were melted down for tanks/ships/planes etc right?

Probably could have bought 5 brand new top of the line cars in the 60's for the price of an abused pre war car.

>>15030699
the Olds engines are huge and heavy
the Buick engines have small valves, they make torque but cant breathe, also heavy

the 389 is the only one Id consider and even then a Chevy is the more common engine

theres a reason the SBC has remained so popular for so long

>>15030721
The SBC was an afterthought in hot rodding until the 70s

>>15030721
The Buick valves also open further and longer

>>15030741
not really

the SBC market was strong by the 60s, replacing the HEMI as the engine of choice

by time the 350 came out it was almost ubiquitous as the hot rod engine, and we all know how things went after that
