  1. Add to that the two superhero spoofs: Captain Nice and Mr. Terrific.
  2. Market research convinced Ford that the Edsel would be a rousing success.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. Argh was a brand of coarse stench from Wacky Packs.
  6. 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:
  7. "Albert in the can" was the subject of many a phone prank.
  8. Late show movies on TV in the '70s were usually scratchy 16mm prints.
  9. Brushing her hair one hundred times a side kept Marcia's sisters awake.
  10. You're supposed to use the putty when you glue the custom front end on it.
  11. Grasp is what a person's reach should not exceed.
  12. While he was sleeping, I took out my Magic Marker...
  13. "Menu" was spelled "M-E-N-Men, Y-O-U-You" by Woody Woodpecker.
  14. Must up my hare when I drove a convert a bull.
  15. This frame from the movie looks like the artist's inspiration:
  16. 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:
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. It is a frozen Big Mouth Billy Bass - that way he's a lot quieter.
