Charles Phoenix JOYRIDE: 1956 Mercury X-M Turnpike Cruiser

Mercury was not to be left behind in the concept car “wars” – Mercury built ONE Turnpike Cruiser in 1955 and showed it off in 1956 – I don’t like Fords BUT I would drive this . . .

But Wait – There’s More!

Mercury took from the concept car what they could incorporate into a production model and then proceeded to build the 1957 “Turnpike Cruiser” . . .

Again – I don’t care for Ford(s) – but I would drive this one . . .

Don’t know about you folks but I miss the glory days of the auto industry – the mad rush from one dealer to the next to see the new car offerings – Now?? – not so much – it is now a matter of how much polish can we ( a given car maker ) put on a turd – when the day is done a polished turd is still just a polished turd . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Friday Music -Dave Brubeck – Take Five (1 Hour Version)

Thin – but GOOD – pickings for Friday music today -and you read it right – a one hour version that is way too cool, I had a couple other things to drop into this but I laid down for a quick little nap early this morning and woke up 9 hours later – at least I woke up – shit happens – Lay right back and Enjoy!

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Paul Harrell : Concealed Carry: 38 Special Ammo Selection

Snubby day – Oh Boy! Paul puts a S&W 638 through its paces with a variety of ammo – and stick with it until the end – Love the “Joe Friday” reference and I’m glad to see I’m not the only one out here in the wilderness talking about that “P” word – Practice!

And I guess it’s a case of the old timey ways leaking out around the edges – but I still carry wad cutters in my snubbys . . .

Enjoy!

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

All Night Long – Happy Halloween!

And so we make it to another “All Hallows’ Eve” – Let’s get the party started with “The Monster Mash” ( of course )

You could go hang with Linus waiting for “The Great Pumpkin” . . .

And for a different take . . .

And now something to listen to while all the little the ghouls and goblins come calling for treats – Enjoy!

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
