I sure do remember those wooden Chris-Crafts and other wooden speed boats parked along the pier at
Euclid Beach in Cleveland Ohio. They would just sit there in all of their glorious beauty, burbling away and beckoning a young kid like me to go for a ride. I actually got to ride in a couple and it was like going to Disneyland.
Unfortunately, Euclid Beach is no more. I wonder if the pier is still there.

Steve, based on the posts regarding twin pipes on six cylnider cars....

most seem to have missed the correct, most common method that produced a beautiful sound on Chevrolet or Plymouth sixes.
As someone pointed out, the most expensive method was headers (the 34 Chev. Rod) but the most common was welding an additional flange into the exhaust manifold. This could be done in a linear fashion (the Kaiser) which probably had the manifold center-blocked for a 3x3 cylinder sound or the '41 Chev which added a flange near the end of the manifold. The sounds were quite different, blocked vs. unblocked, but great. Never saw the 1-into-2 setup, at the differential and wonder how if would have sounded.
I had both Chev. and Plymouth cars with split manifolds and still love the sound when I rarely hear it.

The wheels go a long way to set this Cranbrook off. It is, however, a very nice car.....
