Very car that represents the everything-goes times back when.......

Yes, those Texas Burgers were something else. Reminds me of a man, his wife, and their son who hung out at the Dog-N- Suds with a German Shepard named Sam. By watching them, Texas Burgers were the only thing they sold. They would order 4 at a time, one for each of them and one for Sam, who owned the back seat and could down his in just a couple of gulps. Them were the days. Too, it didn't take us long to figure out that by ordering a single, large drink, not only could we keep the car hop busy, but we would save a couple of pennies as there was a 1 cent sale tax on anything over 25 cents and 2 on a 50 cent purchase.

Did you have Cock Robin,or Prince Castle over there too?
Steak Burgers & 3 Star Chocolate sodas!

I never heard of Prince Castle here Rick.....

[Mr70]

Really???
Well how about Cock Robin?
I frequented the one in Villa park on St.Charles & Villa mostly.
Just down the way from E.G. Korvettes in Elmhurst.
Its bulldozed today,but the one in Wheaton & Naperville are still there.
Oh.. and it should be Silver Star soda..

Anyways........

Ray did you take any vintage pics of your car back then? How long was the car in use before being "put away"? When did you figure out that the car was starting to become special by enthusiasts again?

[Mr70]
