You should also remember that there are still a good number of dry towns, from Wilton CT to entire counties in Texas.

There was a great article in a Mopar magazine about modified Chrysler New Yorkers in the early '60's doing 2AM runs of hootch through North Carolina. These cars had a beefed up engine, but mostly frame, suspension and brakes, so they could go with a full load in the trunk, removed back seat, etc. at +110mph. Those cars were used because they were fast, held a decent amount (the trunks on early '60's Chrysler C-bodies are huge), and would not raise suspicion when seen at a distance.

One of the two big car mags (Motor Trend or Road & Track) also had a pretty extensive article some 10 years ago or so in regards to the Chryslers...from the pics in the articles all I could imagine was Andy and Barney going after these these guys and eating their dust...

That wouldv'e been unpardonable...;-)

Beer Run lyrics
From the album Unknown album

twenty-five minutes past quitting time
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
Paying no attention to them highway signs
Doing ninety miles an hour toward the county line
Quick sack, twelve pack, back again
It's a b double e double r-u-n.

My buddies and their babies letting down their hair
As long as we're together is don't matter where
Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care
Knowing half the fun is in the getting there
Aztec, long necks, paychecks spent
Oh, it's a b double e double r-u-n.
I can't stop thinking
What the hell they were drinking
Whan they made this county dry
I got a week-long thirst
And to make it worse
Lord, it's my turn to drive

Laughing and bragging and a' carrying on
We loaded up the wagons and we headed home
I guess half a dozen cases doesn't last that long
Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone
Them, it's turn around, leave town, sounds again
Like a b double e double r-u-n.


Garth Brooks ;)
