The old 1950 Studebaker Champion hey Ob,don't see to many of them around these days.Down your way today was it?..
I reckon it would look pretty cool actually with a longboard on the roof but I don't think you can put racks on it because of the back window,no gutters!...

Seen it before in the car park of Narabeen Bunnings. Spotted it again today at Mona Vale where I took that pick.

It's Right Hand Drive so I'm assuming it's been in the country since original.

it's a long ways short of concourse and that's what I like about it. It's got a really good patina.

oh ok,yeah I like that used patina look on cars to,they look like they've had a bit of a lifeI'de say that may have been assembled in South Australia in the day,a lot of American cars in the 50s and 60s that are here were.Mainly four door sedans!...

Reminds me of




The grandson has recently discovered thunderbirds so I'm learning a lot about the show. BTW, I'm always Scotty, the missus in Virgil and the boy is Gordon. We're auditioning for a lady Penelope and a Parker.

My favourite thunderbird

Same here mate,The middle of it dropped down and Thunderbird 4 fit inside it,Coooool

We didn't have much money so I would make one out of shoe boxes and paint it all up.

I was lucky enough to get that toy for a Birthday or Christmas present can't remember which one now.Yeah Mac we really didn't have much either,I would make some things like that to,that was our creative side coming out

Okay, moving well away from cars, I was just a bit too old to really get into the old Marionette puppet Thunderbirds, but I do have a very vivid memory of one aspect, and that was Parkers strange affected cockney accent. He always sounded like he had an incurable sinus condition.

They've changed it for the animated version, however, whenever I see his on the new vids, I start to mimic him in the old accent, so much so, that my 4 year old grandson will often chime in with,

"Sorry Lady Penelope, but I've got this terrible Sinus condition"

We piss ourselves when he does it.

Ah The old Munsters Pup,loved em and Lily Munster (Yvonne De Carlo) wasn't to bad in her day

This thing used to get me every time just had to look at it

George Barris certainly had an eye for the bizarre. 3 Model T bodies making it 18 feet long. The 289 was meant for a Cobra I think. Pat Priest who played Marilyn, the 'normal' Munster was a peach too.
