  1. Late show movies on TV in the '70s were usually scratchy 16mm prints.

  3. You're supposed to use the putty when you glue the custom front end on it.
  4. Grasp is what a person's reach should not exceed.
  5. While he was sleeping, I took out my Magic Marker...
  6. "Menu" was spelled "M-E-N-Men, Y-O-U-You" by Woody Woodpecker.
  7. Must up my hare when I drove a convert a bull.
  8. This frame from the movie looks like the artist's inspiration:
  9. 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:
  10. 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.
  11. Looking at all of these, the ones that would probably give the best return on investment (IMO) would be the Ford Starliner, the Pontiac Bonneville hardtop, and the '60 El Camino. Honorable mention to the Buick Invicta hardtop and the Falcon.

  15. This Dodge van was supposedly bought new by Gene Hackman, according to the elderly lady my boss got it from: (very old cellphone pictures) The story was Gene used it to haul a motorcycle and go camping, then traded it in at a Cadillac dealer in South Pasadena; her husband was head of the sales department and kept it for himself. Unfortunately we never could verify the story.
  16. Work Song was a hit for Herb Alpert and the TJB, but I prefer this 1963 waxing by The Shoelaces:
  17. No wait! The Atlantis '62 Plymouth will be the last kit I buy! No wait! The Atlantis '62 Valiant will be the last kit I buy! No wait! The Atlantis '62 Lancer will be the last kit I buy! No wait! The Atlantis '62 Newport will be the last kit I buy!
  18. Nice build! Mine will definitely get a chop and channel:
  19. Of course, if they DID do the Eldo, and they worked a deal with Denise Halicki for Eleanor, just maybe we could get H.B.'s ride from The Junkman:
