I'm beginning to believe the side affect of getting Covid was insanity...the automotive world has gone totally friggen nuts.

----Hope that place had an elevator!!!......Bill S

Haha, not that I recall.... Seen from the front, it is easy to understand why it was Walt Disney's inspiration for the Magic Kingdom.

----Maybe some kind of dumb waiter to get you up to your bedroom!....LOL!!!....Bill s

We visigted Neuschwanstein over the Christmas Holidays four years ago, it was beatuiful. Kind of a damp castle inside, though.

A friend in Austin has this 1970 that will be on BaT soon. It's stunning.

The top image is the Marlboro Man ad that was created by the man in the second image: Leo Burnett

How successful was that ad campaign? In 1955, the year the Marlboro Man campaign debuted, sales of Malboro hit $5 billion -- a 3,241% increase over 1954's sales.

And here's your trivia question for the day: Who was the voice of Tony the Tiger?


Answer: Thurl Ravenscroft, who was also the uncredited singer of the "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch" song in The Grinch Who Stole Chritsmas.

McKinnon plant? All truck bell housings.

GM Photostore indicates it is my alma mater, Chevrolet Flint Assembly (Truck plant), circa 1970.

The fact that it is a mixture of big block and small block indicates a final assembly location, rather than engine assembly (therefore the engines are coming out of the racks and onto the line, not vice versa).

The plants in Flint, Pontiac and other areas in SE Michigan are close to "headquarters" which makes photographic trips easier.

I thought I would post for some BB full size guys. I don't think I've ever posted a pic of it before. I know Bruce has.

yes, it's a beautiful car Mark :)

And cigarettes were, what, 20 cents a pack then ? At 5 packs per dollar, that's 25 billion packs with 20 cigarettes in each...500 billion cigarettes a year...:shocked:

Absolutely hilarious read! Thanks for posting Keith.:youguysrock:

Put a set of period wheels on this and it is stunning. The color is very similar to mine, that was SUPPOSED to be Aztec Bronze, but is not. Still a beautiful color.

Hi,

I’m curious, is this car still wearing it’s Original Paint?

Thanks.

----I love that the owner left the flat hood on this Chevelle!....Bill S

The front hood was replaced by the previous owner and that's the only non original paint as far as I know. I haven't found any over spray anywhere on the car and in person it has it's wear/tear, dings and such. My car came from Rochester, NY and has been exposed to the elements there. While the trunk floor is solid, around the front windshield and the back window it's a little crispy. The floor of the car has had some replacement. Here's another shot.

Ah, the dang image hosting thing has limits. The pics smaller than it should be.
