The first country my mother and I visited while she was working for Air France was - yep - France - specifically Paris. This would be circa November 1968.

Moving from N. Merrick L.I. to Forest Hills, Queens was truly a culture shock for me. Going to Paris was off the chart. Thankfully I took French in high school and managed to get us from A to B and back to A.

One of the items was the French pissoir - outside urinal for anyone to use. It definitely came in handy drinking all that wine.

I dunno.

I worked with Chuck Jordan and it doesn't really look like him (to me) in that first photo.

Maybe. I never really saw him smile!

I owned Chuck Jordan's 1977 Donzi Sweet 16, there was a little wooded homemade glovebox under the dash and inside was an old metal Bandaid box that contained a small notepad and pencil, it had a detailed log and notes on every time he used the boat, hours, fuel, maintenance, etc.
I still have it, and when I was selling the boat around 2005 his son Mark called me to talk about the boat, he mentioned that he was a designer at Mazda. And on another note, when the boat was for sale that is how I met Olredalert.

I would say most of these design guys are very "fastidious".

This is not art. This is what the outside of my metal trash can looks like after I've painted my tractor.

The 1959 Corvette Sting Ray racer used a spare chassis from the ill-fated, one-off, factory-entered Corvette SS, which appeared at Sebring in 1957. Mitchell took the Corvette SS chassis and re-bodied it into the Sting Ray racer and raced it privately on his own dime, with famous Corvette driver Dick Thompson, "The Flying Dentist" at the wheel. The Sting Ray racer made its debut at Road America in 1959, painted in its original red. Once the development of the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray production car program started taking shape, Mitchell "retired" the Sting Ray racer and painted it in gleaming metallic silver, which was reminiscent of the Mercedes Grand Prix machines from the 50s, his favorite racing cars.
