They were mulling over a name and found this, hence the name.

Thanks for sharing Ed. That 56 Fairlane Club Coupe looks great in black.

I love the diversity shown.  My faves are the '57 Olds cv, the '56 Ford and the 47? Plymouth coupe.

Awesome pics of two famous show cars, the Beatnik Bandit and the Dodge Deora!  I remember seeing the Deora at the Los Angeles Auto Show around 1968.  I had a Matel Hot Wheels model of the Deora also.  It came with two surf boards attached to the bed.

A little trivia, the Deora's windshield was borrowed from a 1960 Ford Country Sedan wagon.
