Save me from the things I want

I know just the place for this - but will never get a boat ride to it:
7'10" Cooperfish Speedhull

7'10" x 21.5" x 3"
Double 6oz flat weave volan top and bottom – "isothalic resin" (whatever that is) – directionally sanded finish

Drool.

'32 Duece Highboy 3-Window Coupe - after shooting these I later found out this car's run at Bonneville Salt Flats - If you're into hot rods, and think you have a good act, that's where you take it. And to think there it is, parked along the road in Gloucester, along with Volvo wagons and people walking dogs at the beach.

Highboy: The body sits on top of the frame as original. Fenders, fender braces, running boards, running board supports, and splash aprons removed. Same as stock height.

Same car at Bonneville - Picture gleeped from: streetrodderweb.com. Nice catch Special J!

Joan Holloway for President

Can't get enough of those old Hansen's

Amazing - considering Lyndon Johnson (hissss) was president when they were shaped.

9'8" Hansen master "Pointed Tail" and the 50-50: "Doyle Designed" as in the great Mike Doyle.

havin' a bad day? feelin' down - try some Byrds


Sounds as though the vocals are live but the instrumental is from the album. Still, this is proof of what a terrific singer Gene Clark was, and how good the original group could sound when at their best.

If Hurricane Igor were a rock concert...


Then all I got was the sound check - which sounded so sweet.

I can get used to sound checks.
