Remember the movie Diggstown, when Bruce Dern takes his spoiled brat son to the basement of the gym and gives him the red and white Corvette? Even though I don’t have a gym, the movie inspired this scene at my dealership.

Curt, great scene...looks like the two guys are closing the deal on the red '57?    Nice detail on the fire hydrant...did you paint it yourself?  Curious to know who sells the item...

Curt, it appears that "Christine" reached her destination...happy hour at "Fitz's" on North Main...

What’s Christine playing now “I hear you knocking but you can’t come in”.  

Lee, I'm guessing after "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys as Curt mentions, she'd follow-up with the flip side of "All Summer Long?"  Yours is a great choice too...will keep knockin' though just in case!  As Ed Sullivan would say..."now let's hear it for the Beach Boys!"

Thinking about The Beach Boys,  (my favorite group), I caught this young lady picking up a new board down at the depot, and loading it in her 1939 Ford “woody”. Soon, she’ll head for the Jersey shore, singing  “Catch a Wave”.

       Happy Labor Day'!

          To all contributors to, Automobile-Trucks-Lets-See-Them Thread'.

Hey Paul, no the fire hydrant came that way from Scenic Express.

Hey Artie, I grew up in California, and the Beach Boys were the best. Even with all of their problems, they are still my all time favorite group. Curt

Hey Paul, not only Ed Sullivan Show, but the Beach Boys were on Red Skelton Show a lot too. Curt

Hey Paul, It is very appropriate to have an ambulance sitting by Christine, because at any minute the crap could hit the fan with her. Curt

My personal ride.My baby.

Hey, Curt, even though I grew up on the East coast, I still liked the imagery of The Beach Boys songs.

By the way, that pickup of yours looks like a sweet ride! Well kept!

Artie, that's a good looking surf buggy...funny you should mention "Catch a Wave"...one of my favorites.  Last weekend, I was walking to a local restaurant approaching the crosswalk.  This guy in his car approached the crosswalk first...didn't let me cross  Anyway, as he gunned it, he blasted the song "Catch a Wave!"  I had to play it a couple of times on the way home...

A little "flat" out there this morning...

Curt, her reputation precedes her...after a couple of cold ones, watch out!

Paul and Curt, it’s a 1999 Road Champs, and came with the surfboard. I grew up surf fishing and boat fishing the New Jersey shore, and still get back there occasionally. Not much of a swimmer, but rode waves on a boogie board. I was just a beach bum.

Hey Paul, I was mistaken. I checked my receipts and the fire hydrants came from Trainworld. They are Woodland Scenics #A2764 Street accessaries. There were two of them in the set. Curt

Afternoon guys, some great shots there and some wonderful cars and trucks!

Artie, I didnt even know they could surf in Jersey! LOL

mike g...NOT SURF IN NJ!  now those are "fightin words" ... we have (along with the world's best dinners) some of the greatest beaches in the world.  Seaside Heights, Cape May, Long Beach Island, etc etc...  OBTW in New Jersey you don't "go to the beach" you "Go Down the Shore" THEN after your there...you go to the beach.

Best regards

Don, Iam so sorry, as I have never been there. From what I have seen in movies Jersey has always been the little brother of NY. I guess I need to do some investigation before I speak! LOL
