    The company also manufactured a 3 Row Seater where the middle seat folded down.

    It went by the name '******* Centerfold'...

    Some folks thought the look of the Centerfold was ruined by inappropriately placed staples though. :D

    ******* magazine didnt come out until 1953. just FYI.

    i dont recall ever seein' one of those things and i've been to plenty of orphan shows. definatly an odd mobile. i kinda like it.


    the black one in the museum has a much cl***ier dash than the one in the first pic.

    Despite the four-banger Continental under the hood, the ******* apparently had a decent power-weight ratio. Tom McCahill of Mechanix Ill. test drove one of the first and proclaimed that the acceleration was "like the snap of a rubber band."

    Please re-check your facts. Marilyn Monroe was in their first issue in 1953. Not trying to be a ****, just making sure history remains accurate.
