  1. Zizzibalooba mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo; put them together and what have you got?
  2. I've seen the Henry J listed in 1/25 on eBay; the file definitely needs more work (front of hood and the grille are too flat).
  3. Oh yes! In school we'd be singing "It's about time - it's about space - it's about time to slap you in the face!"
  4. Add to that the two superhero spoofs: Captain Nice and Mr. Terrific.
  5. Market research convinced Ford that the Edsel would be a rousing success.
  6. The guy I sold my '78 Buick LeSabre coupe to on FB Marketplace had good luck; we were liquidating my parents' estate at the time so besides the car he got a bunch of the furniture we didn't want for $100. Nice guy with a wife and young kid so it would be put to good use.
  7. Nice to see the '49 Merc coming back. I wonder why AMT didn't do a Stylized option for that kit back in '63, like many others in the Trophy Series?
  8. Argh was a brand of coarse stench from Wacky Packs.
  9. Jo-Han made some beautiful Caddys, but they were stuck having to fit a standard promo box. Thus we get a short but not narrow '60 Fleetwood:
  10. "Albert in the can" was the subject of many a phone prank.
  11. Late show movies on TV in the '70s were usually scratchy 16mm prints.
  12. Brushing her hair one hundred times a side kept Marcia's sisters awake.
  13. You're supposed to use the putty when you glue the custom front end on it.
  14. Grasp is what a person's reach should not exceed.
  15. While he was sleeping, I took out my Magic Marker...
  16. "Menu" was spelled "M-E-N-Men, Y-O-U-You" by Woody Woodpecker.
  17. Must up my hare when I drove a convert a bull.
  18. This frame from the movie looks like the artist's inspiration:
  19. By 1965 we had another white-over-blue '53 Chevy for my mom. A year later we sold it for $90.00 to some guy who later told my dad he drove it from Chicago to Memphis with no problems: And Dad had a slant-6 '61 Dodge Dart Seneca; here I am describing the shape of the grille:
  20. Mom, a deer and our first white-over-blue '53 Chevy on a trip to Colorado in 1956: That fall, Dad traded it in for a brand new '57 Buick Century in Dawn Gray over Carlsbad Black; he didn't get whitewalls but he got factory A/C. Unfortunately the best color shot got double exposed: By 1959 he customized it a bit by removing the grille spear: So when I was born the next year it became the first car I ever rode in.
