My favs

I've always like this era. I like the Chrysler, La Salles, and that outrageous yellow Hudson convertible.

Curb feelers, Joop, meant to make a grating noise when in contact with cement curbs.

Me too. It reminds me of my first Dinky Toy I got as a pre-schooler.

I have a mint/boxed one today, but not that one....I wrecked it.

I think only Julius Caesar knew the answer to that....

I believe Brutus took a stab at it, but only Caesar knew.

There is a song from a gathering of old time musicians that runs like this........

Curb feelers and Fender shirts
Rub the chrome 'tll your elbow hurts
A car's a car and that's a fact
But a deuce and a quarter ain't no Cadillac.

The musicians are:
Levon Helm - The Band, Drums & Vocals
Keith Richards - The Rolling Stones, Guitar & Vocals
Scotty Moore - Guitar, one time picker with Elvis Presely.

I forget the name of the song and the names of any other players.
