Ah, the postal carrier brought more cool treats today. First, about a week ago a conversation on another thread here got guys talking about model car kits from the early 1980's. I expressed an interest in acquiring a model of a Ford EXP. Several people indicated they are easy to find. Well, I've been looking for a while, and finding nothing in the shape or price I'm willing to pay. Another member here, "Bucky", emailed me offering to sell me one at a reasonable price. Thank you Bucky. I'm very happy with what you sent me. As I noted in my personal message to you, it is better than I expected. Second, I received my third '66 Thunderbird I've purchased off of eBay in the last week or so. And it's also my third Hasegawa '66 American car kits I've received in the last week or so. With a fourth, a Cadillac I'm still waiting on. I'll tell you, these kits much better than people will lead one to believe. And better than I remember them from the one Buick I had years ago. The interior of the Thunderbird is less generic than what I expected from seeing the interiors of the Buick and Pontiac. As some here know, I love Chevy Corvairs. The third thing I got is a paper model of a '61 Corvair Lakewood station wagon. Forth, not car related. Kind of truck related. Is a Wacky Wobbler of Mr. Softee. I haven't seen a Mr. Softee truck I over 55 years. We had one our neighborhood back in the early 60's. But, I think with the short warm weather seasons hear in Minnesota, having a Mr. Softee franchise was not very profitable. But, I still have fond memories of buying ice cream from one. Mr. Softee will go good with my two other Wacky Wobblers, Colonel Sanders and Rat Fink.

No mention of him being in Star Trek on his Wiki page.

I went on Hemmings.com to read the whole article you posted part of here, above. It's great article. Written by one of the greatest, if not the greatest, automotive historians of all time, Richard Langworth. I enjoyed the article so much, I went on eBay and found a copy of the magazine to add to my collection. I'm sure I had that issue in the past, but I sold off my whole Special Interest Autos collection sometime in the mid-1990's. Something I regret to this day, and one reason why I'll never part with my collection of Collectable Automobile magazines. Back to the article itself. It not only explains the history of the potential future Corvair proposals, but it also gives a great explanation as to why GM killed the production Corvairs too. The article confirms what both Mr. Zrodlowski and I were saying. Thank you Joe for bring this article back to my attention, after many years of not seeing it, or even remembering it.

Any idea of the actor's name? And would make it even more funny then.

This to I find pretty good.

And again, I love Snake's sense of humor. This funny. Even I know who Jennifer Aniston is.

This one I get, and think is very funny!

Yea, him and those commercials I don't know. I watch very little TV, beyond MeTV, YouTube, and DVDs. And yet I have seen the above picture before, I just didn't get it.

Despite MPC still offered a kit. ** This is the famous Roadrunner Plymouth never offered in '76. The Roadrunner was still available in '76. But it was now based on the Volare platform, not the Fury like the 75's were. Yet MPC's '76 Roadrunner kit is still based on the Fury.

It's a shame, a few years back Round 2 announced they we're going to reissue the larger stand alone Hot Curl kit. Along with the models of his brother and girl friend. I was excited. Then nothing happened. I wish they would have followed through on that. I was too to even know about, much by the kit of, Hot Curl the first time around.

I'm sorry. I don't get the reference?

Me too! The red shirts always die first. We send them out first to see if it's safe enough for the rest of us.

If your going to own the MPC '29 Ford Woodie/Pickup kit, you've got have one above with Hot Curl. The gnarly surfin dude and his kool Schwinn Sting Ray.
