I did think about that, but assumed the holes had been filled at some point. Tony Isley's racecar had three holes in the flip front for cooling for a subaru engine originally, but by the time my mate bought it they'd been glassed in and the front repainted. It was the door handle recesses that made me think of quarterflash, that and the pale blue under the yellow.

I remember it in Santa Ana, it was on top of the building or on a pole.  You could see it from the bike trail on the riverbed. We used to see it everytime we rode to the beach when we were kids. I did see it again in Stanton in the early to mid 90's ,it was behind a fence on Katella. That was the last I had seen it until the photo here.

Damn, a PBR sounds pretty good about now! For $hitty beer, it sure is tasty. When we have our white trash parties we have lots of PBR, Busch Light, Natural Light,and  then 211 Steel Reserve to finish us off.
