  1. Hmm. I see yours has blackwall tires while mine has whitewalls. Wonder which was more common?
  2. You got it! Never Steal Anything Small. Hints: Features a huge star from Warner Bros., late in his career; not a big hit for him. Sometimes a good guy and sometimes a bad guy; this role was a good bad guy. = James Cagney Co-stars a future Oscar winner/future TV bus driver. Elmer Gantry/The Partridge Family = Shirley Jones Also stars a future TV detective, playing the same character in three different shows; his career was cut short by MG (the disease, not the car) but his wife (a very big star) stuck by him until his death forty years later. Jeff Spencer/77 Sunset Strip/Surfside 6/Hawaiian Eye/Ann-Margret = Roger Smith The one singing is largely forgotten today but she had gotten a Best Supporting Oscar nomination a year earlier, appearing with Tony Curtis. The Defiant Ones = Cara Williams The movie's title was copied for the title of the theme song from the 1967 movie Catalina Caper (with one word changed). "Never Steal Anything Wet"
  3. This should be fun. "I'm sorry, I want a Ferrari!" (sung) Hints: Features a huge star from Warner Bros., late in his career; not a big hit for him.

  4. Three seconds too late with my last post, so I did some quick editing.
  5. Pods can make a delicious salad but you have to cut them up before they turn into people.
  6. Results may vary, and trust me, you don't even want to know about the side effects!
  7. Right for this time of year, has cool old Mopars, but most importantly, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it!
  8. "Name by name, but not by nature" said Arthur.
  9. Well I was ridin' high and know was gonna score Till I met that gal named Eleanor...
  10. I thought just the body shell still existed? I'd buy a couple of them just to rebody my old '58 and fix the problems on my newer one
  11. Blizzard of '67, Glenview, IL and our '56 Chevy 210: And our neighbor's '65 Ford Custom: Yours truly with my younger brother.
  12. Hmm. Take an MPC Open Road camper body, and a Jo-Han '66 Caddy Ambulance or hearse... Surprised I haven't seen one yet.
  13. Pool hall brings trouble to River City, according to Harold Hill.
  14. The MPC Jeepster has (had?) those wheel covers.
  15. Important can for me is Tamiya primer
  16. Not Highway Patrol. It is a made-for-TV movie, however.
  17. Once more... "There's gonna be a lot of senior citizens driving too slowly, teenagers driving too quickly, there'll be old cars, bald tires, vapor locks, and hot tempers. There will be drunk drivers, sick babies, and smashups." Hints: Cast was mostly TV regulars; lead role was played by an actor from Chicago who co-starred in a western, and was also known for a series in which he played a real-life character. Another cast member who had a small role (and a death scene) would soon go on to be a bigger star than anybody else in this movie. Yet another member worked with Alfred Hitchcock five times (and almost a sixth if she hadn't gotten pregnant). Over to you...
