    He was making a joke about the tunneled headlights on the sloped facia. Looks like a "Blake" Avanti from the '80s.

    Love the "old" pics, Mick. The third to last, 40 Merc with Buick headlights and dagmar bumpers, we traded places headed west out of Des Moines, 1984 Leadsled Spectacular. He would either be in the lead, or coming up in the rear view mirror of my '55 Ford Club Sedan, depending on who took pit stops where ..... I'll have some time this weekend, to post my pics from that trip.

    Here are some shots I took at a KKoa event in Des Moines in the 80`s called The Last Pass. I`m thinkin it was from North Dakota and was Scan0039.jpg Scan0040.jpg for sale for about $25,000. It also had hydraulics.

    It looks like we`ve been to a lot of the same shows. And similar interests. Which one would you like to more of. The chopped Lincoln with wires had Hydraulics and 22 in wide rear wheels.
