 | Hi Everyone!! Tom's right . . . the original picture was a Mercury. |
Turns out that this week the "Back to the Fifties" event is back in town - June 22 - 24. It's a fun event but Holy Cow, really tough to park and navigate through the event area. Lots of great old cars there but not catalogued so you could find the car you might want to see. That's what we found at our Coachmen Rally a couple of years ago. Twelve thousand cars attending the event this year.
I'm always looking for the 1949 Lincoln I drove in High School. It had suicide doors, a fan in the rear window, finned aluminum high compression heads, dual carbs and dual exhausts. Zero to 60 in about 9 seconds! Beside going through head gaskets like water from a leaky faucet, the carbs could start on fire at any given moment. It got about 4 miles to a gallon when it wasn't on fire. Really loved that car!
Too bad I don't still have it. Maybe I could drag race Westy and put him in his place! Unlike Westy . . . I'M IN THE PRIME OF LIFE!!!
The Turntable - Great HS tunes! . . . The Flipside features the Beatles and Glen Campbell . . Westy "ROLLS" in PICTURESQUE! . . . Today in The Club PUB - Carol Wergin announces the date (and time) of the "Spirit Of The Rivers" dedication.
Well . . . That's a wrap!
Till Next week / be safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!
