anyone check out car crazy this morning (bonniville) cool, munz-busby arden head "32" did 175 mph,new record,wow!
Just watched it. That episode also had a quick shot of some chick driving a "Big" lavender "Olds" rag top! Saw a couple other HAMBers too! Pretty good show.
Actually, Ardennes is a forrest in Belgium in which a lot of US GI's lost their lives protecting the Frenchies! Sorry, I usually hate it when others do this, but my both Canadian uncles fought there...
Did anyone get a laugh when the first interview was the sedan with the HAMB logo painted on the drivers side? Anyone know who that was?

Eve Arden (Our Miss Brookes) made heads for flatties?? I remember her being a teacher. I didn't know she taught shop.
If it is the same car as the one Cruzr has posted pics of, the previous owner and 2 guys that got licensed in that car are in the first pic The tall guy on the far right (Ed Stoeber) got his license, next guy with red hat (Frank Koeder) owner and got a license and the next guy in line (George Vargas) got his lisence. We went out there when this pic was taken (08) to see the car run with some new changes, they were on track and beat a record then I believe. The car is truly stunning.
