"Menu" was spelled "M-E-N-Men, Y-O-U-You" by Woody Woodpecker.

This frame from the movie looks like the artist's inspiration:

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:

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.

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.

It is a frozen Big Mouth Billy Bass - that way he's a lot quieter.

In the States it's "Fix It Again Tony".

Bryant (Ray) was the leader of the combo that popularized the line dance called The Madison.

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.

Work Song was a hit for Herb Alpert and the TJB, but I prefer this 1963 waxing by The Shoelaces:

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!

Nice build! Mine will definitely get a chop and channel:

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:

Kindling can be replaced with dryer lint, which is better than leaving it in the vent where it can burn even more fiercely.

My boss has two of them. Heaven knows why. This was when he bought them; they're out of the weather now in one of his warehouses. I also wrote a musical number about Yugo for my car club's '80s-themed awards show, to the tune of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go". A couple excerpts that are relatively SFW: Well wake up – I bought a Yugo It’s a better value than a Peugeot Hit the gas – and drive our Yugo And get her screamin’ when you shift to high On the streets – that shiny Yugo Will be impressin’ everyone in WeHo They’ll say Wow – Is that a Yugo Let’s go cruisin’ tonight For $3995 (yeah, yeah) * * * Wait a minute, now what’s that sound Both front wheels are out of round Gearshift lever snapped off in my hand Door won’t stay closed – tie it with a rubber band (shut it off) Hop on out and push the Yugo Rear defogger warms your hands like cocoa Help me shove our poor sick Yugo Trade-in value won’t be very high Called Triple-A, to get our Yugo They just said to stick it up my (CENSORED) Let’s forget about the Yugo Let’s go walking tonight

Based on the 1956 short story "Fifty-two Miles to Terror" by Alex Gaby; available at archive.org: https://archive.org/details/52milestoterroro00carl/mode/2up The story makes the narrator more of a jerk who starts the trouble with the kids in the hot rod. By the way, I highly recommend this book. Great stories in it.

?? This '73 Monte Carlo was Bob's ride; don't remember an Olds:

"Little" is right - supposedly they used a Matchbox (or Corgi?) Capri for this shot:

Them Duke boys done run out of Chargers so now they reskin Ford Crown Victorias!

There's a seated woman figure in the Revell '59 Ford Skyliner; should be easy to find.
