MSCC MAY 7 STAR OF THE WEEK: ’62 IMPERIAL—WHAT MILBURN DRYSDALE WOULD HAVE DRIVEN IF HE WAS A SINGLE DUDE
There was one constant back in the 1960s—single guys didn’t drive cars with more than two doors.
Once they became successful (and married) they owned large and in charge land yachts like Milburn Drysdale’s Imperials in The Beverly Hillbillies.
His Imperials were all 4-door hardtops—more sedate versions of this MSCC Star of the Week ’62 Imperial two-door hardtop.
This is what Milburn would have driven if he was a single dude.

MSCC MAY 4 STAR OF THE DAY: MG MIDGET—BECAUSE AN AFFORDABLE SPORTS CAR SHOULD GET GREAT GAS MILEAGE TOO
Sports cars may be the most impractical vehicles ever built.
They don’t hold much; they suck in winter; gas mileage can be iffy; most of them only have two seats and they cost a lot more than a practical car.
That’s why this MSCC Star of the Day MG Midget made so much sense.
It was an affordable sports car and it got great gas mileage.

There is a large list of recognizable muscle car names from the 60s and 70s.
