Good to see the old pictures.
Some of those I had on my bedroom wall when I was young.
Had every Jungle Pam picture and even saw her do her "show" when I was 15 years old.

Boones, I seem to remember reading about a couple being done by the factory as an aero experiment...

 

This car still exists. It has been tamed down ALOTTTT and terrorizes the streets of Buffalo, New York.
