Who are Chris and Yolanda Hale, and why are their names on the trophy?

There seemed to be some questions about the electrical thingy on the roof, so I thought I'd check it out. I would bet that these photos show modern adaptations, though the kit maker was probably aware of them.

One of my favorites from the '60s.

Yup. It was widely known that Ladd either had to be on a platform or his costar in a trench when they were filming. He was 5'6", she was 5'3". All 3 in the picture are among my all-time favorite movie stars, and this is one of the best pictures ever made. The plot has been copied countless times.

Looks like Stanwyck to me.

She's already been here.

I don't know if you've found this site, but there are lots of good hi-res shots of ol' 222 here. http://www.drehscheibe-online.de/foren/read.php?5,4341433

Scoopless

I'm rooting for you. This can be done, and I want to see it -- I'm sure there are others who feel the same and want to see your solution.

Wow. Good idea on the brass rod for curvature, plus the skill to make it work.

I've wanted to do this conversion, but the amount of bodywork required for the nose area, under the headlights, is beyond my capabilities. Looking forward to your work there.

The best-0f-all 1:8 Imai / Bandai XK-E disappeared from view before I ever heard of it.

A beautiful piece of work.

John Teresi did a spectacular job on a Mercedes transporter. Still looking for it.

SfanGoch is close enough. The lady on the left is Rhona Mitra, female lead on "The Last Ship" TV series. She was the live-action model for Lara Croft in the "Tomb Raider" video games.

Yup. Details?

Here are a lot of shots of a Mehari that Coy's will put on the auction block in Monaco next month. http://www.coys.co.uk/cars/1981-citroen-mehari-4x4

Here's an easier "Make the Connection" quiz. Who are they and what do they have in common?

Me? I'd make the roof removable.

You could try modelmotorcars.com or Brady Ward. But you probably already know that.

Due to lack of response, I'll just provide the answer. If you connected #1 and #3 (Deborah Walley and Sandra Dee), you would come up with GIDGET. If you searched Gidget on Google images, you would find everything. #1, Deborah Walley, movie Gidget #2. #2, Karen Valentine, TV movie Gidget in 1969, "Gidget Grows Up," a failed attempt to re-boot the Sally Field series. #3, Sandra Dee, movie Gidget #1. #4, Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman, the real-life Gidget. All the shows were based on books about her by her father.

Any takers on this one? A little sleuthing among the oldsters will reveal it.

Joanna Cameron, AKA Isis (Needs a new title for future syndication)

Some of you will find this a snap. Name them, and what they have in common.
