ah AH AHHHH -

Board shorts are generally preferable to Speedos, unless you're built like Charles Atlas.

Like maybe a four-door police car? Just sayin'...

SteveG, If the Skylark does eventually get cloned, may I suggest working on finessing the fit of the front and rear bumpers, and in memory of Snake, straightening the bulge on top of the driver's door? Once he pointed it out, couldn't unsee it... And a real pipe dream: a limited run of that '52 Pontiac promo body in styrene? Maybe under a revived Blueprinter brand? Want one SO bad!

Dozen are what children are cheaper by, according to the 1950 movie starring Clifton Webb.

Thank you Les! How about the running boards; do they have the same length/width so they could be cut from the Monogram kit and swapped?

Comes a time in every young car modeler's life when Grandma buys him a kit by Palmer.

Cratchit or Tulips?

Hiding in plain sight in Baldwin Park, CA: I'd bet a dollar that this house at Baldwin Park Boulevard and Shadylawn was a gas station once upon a time: Redfin says it was built in 1952 but it looks older. EDIT: Checked Historic Aerials and the 1948 shot shows vacant land, while the 1952 shot seems to show it under construction. Next available is 1964 and it looks residential with trees, so... guess I need a time machine to know for sure.

^^^ There were alternate lyrics to that one as well. Way back in 1984, the song's co-writer Dr. Don Altfeld came into my print shop (on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena!) to get some publicity material printed. He was trying to sell Ford on the idea of using it for commercials, and told me he'd rewritten it thusly: "But there in her garage where the kids all hang Is a brand new shiny red Ford Mustang" I recall the local paper had some mention of the idea, but that's about as far as it got.
