NO, heuriger! Like I SAID, that's MR.BEMIS!!!
(...years before he got locked in the bank's vault and the Atom Bomb hit!!!)
-
Sorry, but I'm really stumped on this one. I know he looks kind of familiar to me, but without an even more obvious clue, you're going to have to wait for someone else to make the correct call on this one.
(...but you ARE sure it's not Reverend Al, RIGHT???!!!)
LOL
-
That's easy. That's Mr. Bemis.
(...pity about his glasses, huh!)
-
Oh! NOW I got IT, slayton! Thanks for the clue.
Why OF COURSE that's Rev. Al Sharpton there, isn't it.
](...well, ya have to admit it DOES look a lot like him anyway, RIGHT?!!!)
LOL

"Durwood Kirby"?!
Now Swithin, are you SURE you don't mean...
???

It's been years since I've seen that hilarious skit, BB. Thanks for posting it. I had forgotten what a great Bette Davis impression Carol Burnett did in it...along of course with her Kate Hepburn.

Very true statement regarding the aesthetics of cars having different effects upon the individual.
And while I'm somewhat inclined to agree with your statement that car design today in most cases doesn't come close to the elegance of those old Jaguars, you might find the Jaguar model about to hit the market, the new F-type here, a worthy addition to the "breed"...
(...at least I think it is, anyway)
-
Okay folks, I've got it! If THIS isn't "the greatest musical sequence in a non-musical" ever, then I don't know what is....
(...yep, top this one for dramatic effect, if ya can)

Here ya go, slayton...
A 1951-53 Jaguar C-type...
And 1954-57 D-Type
Absolutely gorgeous automobiles, wouldn't ya say?!
Btw, some 10 years ago while on a motorcycle ride through the Ojai Valley(near Santa Barbara), I once happened to run into(not literally of course
) actor Malcolm McDowell while he was parking his C-Type in front of a restaurant, and we had a short conversion about his car and my Triumph motorcycle I was riding. -

Yep...or spats!

His Excellency: "When did it happen, Mr. Van Cleve?"
Henry Van Cleve: "Tuesday. To be exact, I died at 9:36 in the evening."
His Excellency: "I trust you didn't suffer much."
Henry Van Cleve: "Oh, no, no, not in the least. I had finished my dinner..."
His Excellency: "A good one, I hope."
Henry Van Cleve: "Oh, excellent, excellent. I ate everything the doctor forbade, and then... well, to make a long story short, shall we say, I fell asleep without realizing it. And when I awakened, there were all my relatives speaking in low tones and saying nothing but the kindest things about me. Then I knew I was dead."
His Excellency: "I presume your funeral was satisfactory."
Henry Van Cleve: "Well, there was a lot of crying, so I believe everybody had a good time."

Are you talkin' about the DeTomaso, Iso Grifo and Bizzarrini, slayton?
-
Yep, and I'll bet that ol' thick blood o' yours will be warmed and begin swiftly coursing through those veins as soon as you hear the first stirring strains of Max Steiner's score for this swashbuckling masterpiece too, eh?!

(...I know it always gets me in the mood to enjoy this film, anyway)

Yep Tom, as you probably know, TCM has been running the Don Juan trailer a lot recently, and because of our last exchange about this film a few months back and how we both raved about it, everytime I see that trailer I think of you...up there above the 49th and freezin' your butt off this time o' year!
(...sorry, couldn't resist that last part)
-
I wasn't previously aware of that website, but thank you for turnin' me on to it. Yeah, there's some really cool stuff there, alright. And yep, that Apollo is VERY nice, though I have to admit I was also previously unaware of these beautiful Italo-Amercan hybrids, of which of course the names of DeTomaso and Iso Grifo and Bizzarrini usually come to mind.
I also liked that '74 Alfa GTV and the'58 Corvette racer in that link.

LOL
I'm gonna have to assume here that the last one mentioned isn't the one starring Lee Marvin, but the little remembered sequel of a certain Clifton Webb film and that's about a large family that has to go a whole week without running water to their home because of a water main break down the street, RIGHT?!
-
Was that a Tommy Chong line, Sans?
-
I always liked the scene in Captains Courageous where Spencer Tracy as Manuel sings "Yeah Ho, Little Fish" accompanied by his hurdy-gurdy.
-
That's funny. I don't see many of those guys who wear their little baseball caps backward ridin' around in wheelchairs?!
-
Yep, I have to admit that the Public Transportation systems back east were just "a little" better than anything we had in L.A., and which were delayed in construction for many years in L.A. because of the everpresent "NIMBY" attitudes out there.
(...and which because of those delays in construction has made that freakin' 405 Freeway AND most of Greater L.A. and ESPECIALLY the Westside area the congested transit mess that it has become...and maybe THE primary reason I now reside in beautiful Sedona AZ)
-
Yeah, well, except here in Arizona, where that SB1070 thing seems all the rage lately!
-
Oh the wages of being born and bred in a large east coast metropolitan city instead of sunny and car crazy SoCal, huh finance?!
(...though I believe you wanted to post this reply in the "Anti-Gaining Interest" thread presently also going on, and where some of us have sidetracked that thread by somehow getting into a conversation of automobiles)
-
Well, I'm certainly NOT gonna start any "Who's on First" routine with ya here then.
(...'cause not ONLY has THAT routine been done to death, BUT I know how confused I'd get by the end of it TOO...yeah, even more confused than I normally am!!!)

Yep, heuriger. You might have missed it, but back on the second page of this thread I posted the following message to hamradio about this very car...
> Ham, being the Gearhead that I am, I drove down from Sedona to Scottsdale last Friday and attended that circus known as the Barrett-Jackson Auction, And yep, I stood next to George Barris' creation there. (...though.I was more hot for this one '66 Shelby GT350 Mustang)
