That (those) are YF-12's and no they never made a twin fuselage version of that airplane. Neat looking but no. The spikes (engine inlet cones) are directional and point towards the center line of the aircraft. Notice that both outboard cones are facing inboard while the center one is facing towards the centerline of the aircraft on the right. If this were real I would assume it would be facing towards to center of the two fuselages.

----I knew King Olds very well. We bought all their under $1000 trade ins at the used car dealer I worked for, "Car City the walking mans friend". Also tried my hand at sales at that Ford dealership. Forgot to clock in every day for the first two weeks and they wouldn't pay me so I quit! Later a friend of mine and I started a detailing business and had both dealers as customers...….Bill S

The car was Harley Earls and one time while on spring break in Fla I saw it in his driveway in Palm Beach. I was 16 or 17 and tried to walk into his driveway but a caretaker chased me off the property. Later we found out that a good friend of mine, Bob Gold (RIP) and a partner bought it and restored it.

----The coupe came to Classic Motors in Hinsdale from Kentucky. Can't remember how it ended up in Kentucky, but I used to drive it home for lunch. It has had several owner changes since those days, but was nice enough at the time that all we did to it was a quick detail...…..Bill S

Elephant tusks never stop growing. But if a tusk is broken off, it will not grow back.

BEWARE!

THIS IS A SCAM!


Quote:

Your telephone rings and an automated message says your Social Security number has been “suspended” because of some suspicious activity. You may even be threatened with arrest if you don’t call the telephone number provided in the automated message.
DO NOT call the number!

The Social Security Administration NEVER contacts people by phone. Strictly by mail.


My son got one of these calls last Thursday. He called me. "Did you call that number?" He said "No, I am calling you." I told him to ignore it - it's a scam.

I got one of those a couple weeks ago telling me I WILL be arrested. Not the first time.
