Good possibility I was at PIR at this event, started going there about 1970/71 while in high school, helping a friend with his Super Stock Hemi/4 speed Plymouth Belvedere.

I had a hat like that with a matching jacket!

 

Wall Drug. What a kick in the 50's. Signs everywhere with a distance to it. See The Cowboy Band, free water, see the two headed calf...

 

Who will be the first to say it? Oh hell I will, "TWBO"

 

WTF is TWBO...?

 

I think it is the time honored and very trite "That will buff out."

 

I would like a Cadillac just like this one please -

 

Or in this case, Try Washing Blood Off.

 

That's a factory Limo. Had a friend that use to work at a Cadillac dealership in Walnut Creek CA. Had a regular customer that would buy a new one every few years. It would be triple black, with a radio delete, and the glass partition behind the drivers seat. Him and his wife would ride in front, the kids would ride in the back with the partition up so they didn't have to listen to them. We bought one of the last ones he bought from him, and we drove it around for some time. It was still in like new condition. We eventually sold it, because that's what we did, and it brought good money. Don't get me started on the Hearse I wish I still had.....
