The Winter Dance Party continued to Chicago with changes to the lineup: Jimmy Clayton is a typo, that should be Jimmy Clanton.

Chord is what Cheech and Chong's Alice Bowie only knows three of in the track "Earache My Eye".

The gag, of course, is a reference to a previous John Landis movie with John Belushi that involved Oldsmobile:

Just so you know, the original issue AMT '63 Impala did have separate clear red taillights; they pop up once in a while from the parts sellers on eBay. The Revell '63 Impala also has separate clear red lenses; maybe post a request in the Wanted section?

Whoopsie. At least they got it right on the other side:

One car I did like on Sunday was a low-mile '92 Caddy Allante; it went for $11k which is only slightly higher than what they go for on Craigslist in Palm Springs.

Looking through the results, I was very amused to see EIGHT Eleanor Mustang clones - I bet Denise Halicki was not happy about that now that she lost her court case, especially with the six-figure prices they were getting. Only two 190SL Mercedes this time, and no 300SLs No '89 Porsche Speedsters either. Just two Edsels, both the relatively common '59s.

Well, if you don't care much for the XKE, you could use it for a movie diorama...

Got this very cheap from an estate auction last week - 2002 Cougar V6 Sport One owner and 48,216 miles; no smog fails and no nightmarish surprises on the Carfax. The auction company first listed it as a runner, but it quit running before they could get it smogged - so the sale was then listed as "dealer or out of state only". Fortunately my boss's partner has a dealer's license and I got it for a grand plus the usual 15% buyer's premium. Our mechanic got it to run again, and quoting his text: "Cougar running got monitors reset. Had blown charging fuse bad IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. Needs oil pan resealed, front struts noisy, sunroof won't close (oh boy! ), needs rear brakes". So not perfect but fixable. Anyone else here own/owned one?

OK, how about doing like what they did with the '65 Mustang, and reverse engineer a stock '66 Barracuda (which has been the Hemi Under Glass for ages)? Out of left field, but with some of the same tooling, a corrected '66 Valiant promo/Craftsman Plus kit (with the roofline and the big crease in the trunk lid fixed).
