Surfnshorts

Oh God, I drive a 1965 Ford Fairlane everyday, a car most people regard as simply bland. Most people say it's ugly then sin. It doesn't stand out too much. It's an undesirable car. It doesn't have stupid tiki ad ons. It's not very collectible even though its a one year body style. It doesn't rock chrome dripped caps or rims, just simple dog dishes from that year. No nostalgic flathead, or gas guzzling big block....just a tired 289 where parts can still be found real easy. Mechanically it's an overweight mustang. No tuck'n'roll. (Have you ever tried to get sand out from tuck'an'roll). This is a surfer's wagon and not a surf wagon.
My 65 fairlane is not allowed at most shows I like to go (It doesn't meet the pre-64 criteria) It's segregated into the parking lot with mass society and greaser/scenester wannabes (even though a flat black 59 buick or a chopped primered caddy is considered "old school" but a 65 mustang in diamond tuck, with mags, wooden steering wheel is looked down upon) Either way, I'd never put it in a show. I guess if you'd like to scenester my 65 fairlane up... primer it, put red rims and whitewalls/ astros, mexican blankets, dummy lights, and add on stupid accessories because "that's what they did back in the day" they might let it in or pass it as a 64.
Sorry boards go inside and not on the top. They are not always with the car. Yes, it does have a "Stamp out Hodads" sticker and so does the tat on my leg.She can be noticed sometimes but tends to blend which is perfect. It's not always good to stand out a surf spot especially if you don't surf there.
My fairlane just recently drove across the USA to Florida. In May she's cruising the entire east coast and then driving back to the South Bay in CA without complaints. I guess this hits the note of "Surfing USA"
