The lifespan of Ford's 385 engines was one of the longest in the company's history. They debuted in 1968, and for the next 30 years Ford placed them under the hoods of many different vehicles, from full-size luxury cars to large pickup trucks to even some muscle cars. All the engines in the 385 line were cast-iron big-block V8 engines that could deliver a lot of power.

Is it possible that the best pickup currently on the market is also the one that stands diametrically opposed to the bigger-is-better status quo? I’ve been of that opinion since I first slipped behind the wheel of the compact Ford Maverick and experienced firsthand what it’s like to embrace utility without suffering the gigantism of the current crop of full-size monstrosities.

By the time the 1960s ended, an entire secret language had evolved around the world of what were known at the time as “supercars.” We know them today as muscle cars—a newer term that wasn’t used until such cars returned years later as collectible automobiles. Along with features like mag wheels, Wide Ovals, and Positraction, the shaker hood would earn status among young gearheads as a sign that you were packing serious heat under the hood. One of the marketing conundrums of selling high-performance was that all that power was hidden from view. Making that power known to others was typically the job of an aggressive exhaust note aided by a lopier cam and a larger exhaust system, along with whatever fender badge callouts could be hustled up by the design department. Hoodscoops had always been part of car designs since the 1950s, but matters took on a more appropriate kinetic approach with the invention of the “shaker hood”—a freestanding cold-air scoop attached directly to the carburetor and that moved in concert with the engine’s vibrations.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
