Your teen age cruisin' hang outs

Teenage years and later, the hot spot for me was famed Whittier Blvd in SoCal.
Friday and Saturday nights in high school several of us would get together with my buddy who'd saved enough to buy a '63 Impala SS with a 425-horse 409 with 4-speed. We'd all chip in a $1.00 for gas and head for Bob's Big Boy.
After high school I went to college (Cal Poly in Pomona) close to home and still cruised the Blvd. in my '64 Olds Cutlass. No muscle since it just had a 330 w/2 bbl. and 2-speed auto but it looked good. At the time I still lived at home in Montebello (west of Whittier) and dated a girl in La Habra (east of Whittier) so of course the Blvd. was always a great place just to drive on weekend date nights.
The girl became my wife in 1969 and we bought a very slightly used '69 340 Swinger in November of '69, R4 Charger Red with Cragars. We joined our first car club, Orange Coast Darts (still have the jacket), and had a lot of fun cruising and the occasional street race. I loved to pick on big block Chevelles. It was always fun to do a Saturday night bracket or class race at OCIR, then head to the Blvd. with the class winners trophy laying on the package tray of the Dart and do a little cruising before heading back to our apartment in Whittier. I sure wish I'd kept that car.
Not too far off of Whittier Blvd. was York Field is south Whittier. Big Willie and the International Brotherhood of Street Racers used to gather there about once a month to set up races. Racing was usually done either at the "Box Factory" or in Diamond Bar.
Lots of great memories from those fun times.
