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.
