LOL! I remember seeing this ad back in the 1960s and thinking - I'd like to try that. So I bought some - poured it over ice - OK - a bit too beefy so I took a wedge of lemon and squeezed that into the glass and volia' - PERFECT. To this day It's one of my favorite summer time drinks. Just can't drink as many as I used to because the amount of sodium per drink is literally off the chart.

I collected “Original” unbuilt models years ago and several of Ed Roth customs.
The Box art and decals are way cool in these old vintage models.

What am I? I'm a 1970 Duster 340. But I have hood scoops from a 1970 Coronet R/T/Superbee and the hood decal from the 1971 Duster 340 but it's way too low on the hood because of the scoops. Yikes!

Yes - Sox and Martin raced for Mercury. But their contract was up. While negotiating a new one, Chrysler got wind that they would be available. A meeting was set up. When asked what issues they had with the Mercury contract it was made known that Mercury wouldn't give them each a car for the season. Only one to be split between them.

Chrysler said " We can easily fix that. You guys pick whatever car you want to drive from our Chrysler/Plymouth/ Dodge inventory." That sealed the deal and Sox & Martin moved over from Mercury to Chrysler. The rest is history.

This one and the previous one are listed as the most expensive US made cars ever sold at auction. We are talking $5M to $7M and they are not even close to #1 ($22M)

Yep - another multi-million dollar car.

In 1968 Carroll Shelby opened the Sky Terrace motel and restaurant at the southern Basin of Lake Tahoe. Located near a popular ski resort it featured a heated pool, free cable TV and a bar called the Snake Pit.

Shelby also owned a cabin on the shores of Lake Tahoe, he sometimes piloted a Cessna from Texas, and he also opened the Lake Tahoe Basin’s first Ford dealership.

The Homer Hadley Bridge is part of I-90 crossing Lake Washington near Seattle. This is a floating bridge BTW. The only one (??) part of the USA interstate system.

There’s nothing quite like “Lake Tahoe”.
All shores on the California and Nevada side are unbelievably beautiful.

I see a couple Mustangs, of coarse and looks like Heavenly Valley ski resort in the background.
