When I was a kid of 17 I had a '32 Deuce three window chopped top coupe full fender car with a '48 Mercury and four Stromberg Carbs.  It had red and white tuck & roll interior and was primer.  I paid $300 for it which was a lot of money to me at the time and sold it for about $375 as I recall.  Not one of my better auto deals.

As much as I like the Beach Boys I never owned this album but my friend down the street, Scott Lambert, did and I knew every song on it.  Always thought the cover car was really cool but never researched it until today.  These are the kind of car stories that make the hobby so rewarding...........

Enjoy,

John
