Ah yes, The Tally Ho Lounge, Amenia...Visited it many times when you could drink at 18 in NY State . It's a wonder I'm here to tell about it. LOL

Sounds like Dave Wren's place to me. More Hemi's than you count at a glance along one wall. Imagine the first time I ever saw a hemi and he had a whole shelf full of them like they where small block chevy's in junkyard. Never heard of a factory 426 street hemi wagon though, a couple 4 door's are out there but never heard about a wagon. Chris? any feedback here?

There were a lot of kid's who didn't make it out of their late teen's because of the drinking age in NY. The Daily News or the National Enquirer would usually have a Monday morning photo spread. It didn't change until around 1969, I think, when I turned 21.

Don't know about NY state but we were going into NY city in 1972 and still buying.

Amenia, New York

Located in Dutchess County, adjacent to the Connecticut border.
Main Intersection; Routes 44 & 343

Town about 10 minutes north of Dover Plains.
Dover Drag Strip (1961 thru 1976)

Farm/Barn location; Smithfield Valley Road

Apparently, you would think some of these cars found their way down
the track at Dover Drag Strip in the mid-late 60's.
