A quick hop back to 1955, plus a dream car, a downtown corner, and a line you still know.

Good evening, Jack Reynolds checking in. February 24 always makes me think about how a brand-new baby in 1955 could grow up and change the way we live at home. I also kept daydreaming about that big muscle car with the hood scoop, the kind you’d circle in a brochure and never forget. And wait till you see the old catchphrase that still stops a room.

This 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda started at $3,164 new, and Hemmings even frames one as “426 for $26K,” which makes a fellow blink. The 426 Hemi was rated at 425 horsepower, and just 652 were built in 1970. My brother would have traded his paper route for that shaker hood. Click for the option prices and the 0-60 numbers.

Tonight’s “Your Memory” comes from Howard in Ohio, remembering a summer morning in 1962. He pedaled his bike to the public library with a dime in his pocket and a stack of books in his basket. The place smelled like paper and paste. My dad always said a good library makes a town feel steady.

Tonight’s Quote comes from Helen Keller, who reminded us that “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.” I grew up hearing that hope is a kind of work, and she proved it with her life.

See you tomorrow. Same time, same station.
