    I have heard Toad say it a million times in American Graffiti but I could never find a picture of the "Superfleck Moonbird". Now I see in Daryll Starbirds book "The Bubble Top King" that the car was also known as the "Predicta". Am I the last to know? I posted pics and links on my site for anyone intrested. Thanks Jeff

  3. I think the "Predicta" sounded better. Was Darrly Darryl's brother? I'll have to get the book. :-o

    Here`s an interesting fact from the book. In 1960, Darryl was doing the show circut with Ed Roth. Darryl was getting $500 per show with the Predicta. Ed Roth was getting $250 per show with the Outlaw. But Ed was also selling T-shirts. A year later, Ed built the Beatnik Bandit. Ed even named one of his kids after Darryl. Yes you need to get the Book. Most people believe that Ed Roth built the first Bubbletop car. Not.
