This is kind of a weird photo: George Barris with the Monkeemobile outside his shop. It gives the impression he created it. That is false. Dean Jefferies created it. Here is Dean and his creation right after he completed it:

Quote:

The Monkeemobile had its origins in 1966 when Dean Jeffries was asked to design and build a car for a new TV show called The Monkees. Jeffries, under contract with Model Products Corporation (MPC) at the time, told CEO George Toteff about the project. A make of vehicle had not yet been chosen for the project. Toteff then told his friend Jim Wangers of these developments. Wangers was working with Pontiac promotion and advertising at the time and saw the show as a huge promotional opportunity for Pontiac. After making the deal, Jim Wangers supplied two base 389 4-barrel 1966 GTO convertibles with automatic transmissions to be converted into Monkeemobiles. MPC was in turn given exclusive rights to market a model kit of the Monkeemobile. They eventually sold over seven million copies of the kits.

And I bought one of those Monkee mobile kits when I was about 11.

Raise your hand if you built one of these. Lee's hand is up.

I bought one of those kits from a guy on another forum a few years ago. He MAY have bought it new, but was moving and purging stuff he'd held onto for 30-40 years. Still sealed in the bags.

Not much to go by, there.

I can read "Michigan Public Service Company", but a google search hits on "Michigan Public Service Commision", which is in Lansing, which could not be correct.

Are you able to read any of the other signage?

One of the guys on the Chevy truck board is making his own casket out of a '67 pickup box:

----Have lived in Michigan since 1996 and have still never heard of Scottville, MI.! Will look it up and maybe the theater is still in business. Thanks, Chris! Here in Marine City we have the Mariner Theater that had been closed for a really long time, but more recently has been totally restored, even an exact copy of the marque....Bill S

Bill,

I’ve always liked History and the old theaters are really cool!

The upstairs balcony’s were handy also. 😋

Too bad the Victorian building next door was torn down.

Chevrolet plans to produce 1,000 examples of a special edition of 2022 Corvette Stingray. The IMSA GTLM Championship Edition sports cars will get special Corvette Racing-themed graphics, a high-wing rear spoiler, yellow brake calipers, black Trident wheels with the Chevy Racing mascot “Jake” on the center caps, yellow seat belts, a numbered plaque and a car cover with a racing design.

Latest/4'th? Jake rendition angles appear to be morphing w/ C8 so won't be too surprising if future updates even more Jakelike w/ Eye Socket Cross-Flag Headlights/Grille shape/Paint etc?:hmmm:
