You put that away for your baby, lol.

I think it’s quite valuable “if” you can find a buyer. They only made a little over 400 of the ‘57 Mark II’s! I have a book about it.

Tucson in 1974, Straight Shot played "Hot Rod Lincoln" at the Silver Bell Saloon on Fourth Avenue the summer Hillary helped edge out Nixon. Gloria and I on the dance floor working up a sweat.

Now for Frau Mao comes the Reversal of Fortune.

Smashing ashtrays drowned out by the sound of dual exhausts drivin' up Grapevine Hill.

Ahh, fun fun fun, in the ‘good ol’ days’. I used to ‘drag race’ the guys in my Dad’s new Buick - and win!!

Devolve was driving his TR3 to the beach, and you were madly dancing and then campaigning, lol. [and who knows what else]

The world turns now, and the stomach churns..

Looks like Hillary is catching up some in Washington.

Charles Ryan, the Spokane man who co-wrote the hit song "Hot Rod
Lincoln," has run his last road race. Ryan died Saturday at age 92
after a long battle with heart disease...

RIP, Mr. Ryan !! Loved that song, ya done good!

I listen to KZPS 92.5 FM here in the Dallas area.

They are our “Lone Star” station. Anything Texas.
Country, Rock, etc.

And they also say:

“If it SOUNDS good, what the hell? We’ll play it”.

They OFTEN play “Hot Rod Lincoln”, too !!

I knew you’d like that one

I cropped and upsized that photo to 600x450

Not sure if it’s the same car

Beautiful custom coastwork

Everything now - every manufacturer - looks like a blob of Silly Putty except for a few Retros and the new ‘Vette
