Groooovy Man :music-rockout:

[Half Fast Slotter]

Uptight, outta sight, and in the groove man.
Wish I could have seen that ride when it was “new”. I imagine it smelled like a mix of way too many liquids, fast food, overdue laundry, Brylcream, smoke and fluids to discuss in a public forum. Yowza!

Right on man!

Hey man it was an ambulance man

[waaytoomuchintothis]

Slotter, you are eerily correct on all counts, but there was one more smell in it. Leather cream. The seats were huge and all leather. We rubbed those seats down at least once a week, getting them soft enough to be comfortable.

And Chappy, it was an ambulance AND a hearse. The black rubber rollers that allowed the coffin to be loaded without grunting would flip over and become wheels stops for a gurney. It had been owned by a very poor county in Mississippi and did both jobs all the time. I suppose that is why they got a blue one, rather than black or white. There were fittings on the fenders for little flag masts, either white with a red cross, or black with a wreath in white. Of course, in our hands, it was called everything from Death Sex to P---- Wagon. We called it Date Night Express.

This is a project you should have done a long time ago. You have now immortalized a part of your history that will never appear again (I say this as one who has archived thousands of drive in movies from the 60s and early 70s on DVD). That slot car will mean more to you than a slot car ever has to someone.

I hope Jules sees this and reproduces it in 1/32 RTR. And I hope he finds Linda, and has her put her unique "signature" on the placard with it to authenticate her work, roughly a half century later.

Well done.
