(opps, this just might be a copyright violation). So sue me, 0r forgive me. But then, it can also be deleted also, if deemed by the authorities to be the unruly case. That's all right with me also.
Odd this me thinks. I thought this pic and my caption to be hilarious. With only one weak reply I see how wrong an old fart can think of himself. Oh well I tried and am laughing to my 0wn corn ball enjoyment. (it does not take much to entertain a low brow ya know).
Always liked the '70s style hot rod artwork. Often the tires had a message spelled out in the raised white letters. Check out the ''Blue Meanies'' lettering on the cop's pant leg, and the totally Phallus revolver holster! I'm sure others appreciate it as well. "Weak post'' haha
Bell was the boss!!! I remember when I used to get pulled over for loud pipes or open headers. Or when I left a red light too fast……. I miss those days
34 Larry, I chuckled when I read it. I never had too many of those days (but I should have), I have only gotten 2 traffic tickets in my life. One 10 mph over the limit (which was less then it should have been), and one stop sign violation (your not suppose to roll through a stop sign, the only other car on the road that night was the cop and he was a long way off). Daddy always told me, "When a cop gives you a ticket, just pay it. Think of it as the payment for all those tickets you should have gotten, but didn't get."
Funny stuff Larry, I don’t think there is any copyright infringement as your not selling the picture. Did you ever get pulled over just so the cop could look at your car? Dan
Sure made me smile Larry. Only met Dave Bell a few times back in my Street Rodder Mag. days. He was older than Mike and myself ,but was always helpful and encouraging. Others at the magazine had said he could be a little "difficult", but I never saw that. This ones for you Larry.
Looks a lot like “Black Bart”, the cop on the Renton loop. Couldn’t talk him out of anything. Remember him Larry?
I got a ticket many years ago for 27 in a 25 MPH zone , on a hand jammer , I knew the cop . Lucky I could read the speedo , they have a tendency to vibrate a bit . 3 days later his car had a dead battery at the local watering hole , he ask me for a jump . I told him , “ I’m not driving my Ford today , no cables call someone you know with a Ford they have cables . “ The police cars were Fords .
I got the red-light flash twice with my HT '57 (283 bored to 292, Jans 10; 1 Duntov bump stick, tri power, 4 speed, (eventually, (( I was making babies at the time)). Second time I took on a '59 409 Chev from a light, I saw around the neighborhood, & lost (409 no less, Lost) with a WSP (State Patrol 2 cars behind me. First time was in Wichita with my cherry "54 " Chev Bel Air and its 6 Banger spit manifold pipes that were louder than the motorcycle cops on takeoff next me at the light when acerating, when the light changed. 0
I'd forgotten about Bells cartoons in Street Rodder, I have issues back to the early 70's, they had a great magazine "back then"!
