And 40% Bran Flakes!
My first ( 1973 ) was an 1966 Olds Delmont 88, cream body, burgundy interior. Floated right on down the highway...
I recall playing 8 Ball at the Boys Club of America in Miami, Florida in 1955. This was not the PC Boz N Gwirls Club circa 2018.. It was Boys only!
Think we had two or three Pool tables table that were like 3.5 X 7 with wobbly legs, if you leaned on the table it move an inch or two, when you made a ball it sound so loud it was like it fell on the tile floor.
Boys sat to waiting their turn to play the winner of the last game. If you won you kept playing, if you lost you sat and waited to play again.
