BIT OF HUMOR ?

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says, "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her, "The driver just insulted me!" The man says, "You go right up there and tell him off - go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."

--------------------

One day a duck walks in a store and ask the manager if they sell grapes. The manager says, "No, we don't sell grapes." The duck goes home and comes back the next day and asks the same question. The manager says the same thing again, "No, we do not sell grapes." The duck goes home, comes back the next day, and asks the manager if they sell grapes. This time the manager says, "No, we don't sell grapes!

If you ask one more time, I will nail your beak to the floor!" The duck goes home. It comes back the next day and asks the manager if he has any nails. The manager says, "No, I don't have any nails." The duck says, "Okay, good. Do you sell grapes?"

SURF CITY GARAGE  PRODUCTS

So where did Surf City Garage detailing products  

come from?

Well, to keep the cars looking great, we tried every car care product around, but I just wasn't satisfied with the quality or performance. So we developed our own complete line of Enthusiast Grade� detailing products -- recognized around the world as the best anyone can buy. Our guarantee: if these aren't the best products you've ever used, give me a call and I'll personally buy them back - is unmatched in the industry.  

That's why, every day, more and more enthusiasts are switching to Surf City Garage Enthusiast Grade� - because nothing else even comes close.

Mike Gardner's 1951 Lincoln Custom 'RUBY'
Candy Land Lincoln

By Dave Wallace  -  Photography by Wes Allison  

-Courtesy Hot Rod Deluxe-  

You'd need a big pair and/or a pea brain to dare debut a candy-red custom at Sacramento's Autorama, an historic show whose judges include the inventor of candy-apple paint.  

To be so ballsy in Joe Bailon's backyard-a region that's produced more customizing legends than anyplace else on earth (Bailon, the Barris boys, Bertolucci, Bagdasarian, DeRosa, Westergard, Winfield, and so on)-is to risk ridicule from the masters, in person. Though the survivors are in their 80s and 90s now, most still manage to make an event that's been making and breaking customizers' careers since 1950.  

So you can't blame Autorama builders who choose a color-any color-other than candy-apple red.

The Lost 1956 Chrysler Norsman

The Chrysler Norseman was a design concept model built under the direction of Mr. Virgil Exner in 1956. To build this remarkable vehicle, the project cost $150,000. This was one part of a series of Chrysler's advance models which were considered the automobile of the future. The Noresman offered new electrical and styling innovations that most companies could only dream of at that time. It took the Chrysler Noresman concept model more than two years on the drawing boards to fully design and another 15 months to develop and build. The Norseman model was 227.5 inches long and had a 129 inch wheelbase.

It was known as the Chrysler "Idea" car. The Norseman was a two door hardtop which did not offer any door post or pillars. It also featured hideaway headlamps along with a fastback roof-line that was long, low, and clean to look at from a designer's perspective. The interior offered a futuristic theme, four bucket seats for passengers, and an upholstered interior that was offered in a green and gray metallic leather.... CLICK above to read on.
 

The Norseman model's drawing plans along with a smaller scale model were sent to Ghia in Turin, Italy. Ghia offered some of the best and talented Italian coach-building employees in the world. They were considered masters at what they did. They also put together prototypes. One example would be the 1950's Lincoln Futura concept model for Ford Motor Company that was later used in the popular "Bat Man" TV series.

The Chrysler design team wanted a fully drivable model with a Hemi engine; not just a rolling design mock-up. After the handcrafted model was completed, the model was then placed on an Ocean Liner, the S.S. Andrea Doria to be shipped to Chrysler for an up-coming Auto show exhibit for 1957.  CLICK on the car to read the article.
