47heaven Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Norm....nothing wrong with "Sh-boom," I mean it's great song, but looks funny on a car....kind of the stereotypic "malt shop 50's." LOL! Joe...go ahead and put "Sh-Boom" on your car...don't let me stop you. Maybe at the same time you can also put "Sweet Little Sixteen" on the other side. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 I have often thought about putting "Mary Lou" on my coupe. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 The Fat Fendered Relics ad is nice, but they don't seem to give you any prices. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Bob, I called about 3 years or so ago to check on the price. About the time the plastic repops came out for $125. When I ask about the price it was $125. So........same price as the plastic insert. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 We may still have a listing for the fellow who was making the repro plastic pieces a while back......which is where I got mine. He told me he was not going to make any more and sold me one of his last ones. Or, so he said. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I saw one on E-bay..found in sock drawer...last of a few he had made..then another sock drawer find...maybe the sock drawer is being replenished.. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Dang-----all I ever find in my sock drawer is (wait for it)..........socks. Quote
T120 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 ..then the question would be - is it an original reproduction part or a new reproduction part? and is the quality and value comparable Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Bob..you got to get out more an I don't mean those late night gigs... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah.....Tim.......you're probably right. Going to Branson for about 4 days next month......does that count?? (Of course, in return for the free use of a nice condo, we gotta sit thru the ever popular sales pitch.) (Last time I think they put either 3 or 4 different, tougher, salesmen on us......but to no avail.) Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 my wife sat through one of them years before I net her..she went for the free Jeep rental while visiting her parents in Hawaii...she was a no sale so they called in Guido from Chicago...he failed miserably...she got the free rental and ushered out the back door of the establishment... Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 We are always getting those offers to stay at some retreat too, that require you to listen to a sales pitch to buy a time share condo, etc. We always toss those, never have taken any of them up on their offers. I'd rather pay my own way than to sit someplace and listen to a sales pitch. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Oh yes......there is a new old car museum/sales place on Hwy 76 in Branson. Surely will have time to stop by and take a look. I think they are charging admission to view the cars inside. Don't know if they've sold off the vehicles from the 57 Heaven collection at the Dick Clark Theater yet. Quote
michael.warshaw Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Posted October 13, 2009 i met a guy in hershey who makes repros in all different colors. ill post his number. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I have often thought about putting "Mary Lou" on my coupe. Norm..do we really want to go there... Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Better than putting Mary Jane IN your coupe. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Norm..do we really want to go there... Why not? That's my wife's name. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 TMI Norm..what a man and his wife does in the presence of his coupe is not for public forum... Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Tim, It took nine hours before I finally got the meaning of your "do we really want to go there" comment and Norm's possibly unintended innuendo. It's really hilarious. But what's not hilarious is the fact that it took me that long to get it. Isn't there a senility post going at the moment? Quote
T120 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 ..Thanks,Joe - had to slap my head - and then laugh Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Tim,It took nine hours before I finally got the meaning of your "do we really want to go there" comment and Norm's possibly unintended innuendo. It's really hilarious. But what's not hilarious is the fact that it took me that long to get it. Isn't there a senility post going at the moment? Joe, that's because our minds are not in the same place as Tim's. Evidently Tim needs to get his mind set in a cleaner place. I still don't know what he's saying because I don't know what he means by TMI. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I think that means Too Much Information Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) I think that means Too Much Information Bob, guess that makes sense. Tim and the others should know by now that I do not do text language. So........they gotta spell it out for this old buzzard, because they are wasting time telling me something in text lingo. Guess old Tim is not quite old enough to remember when guys painted their girl's name on the corner of the trunk deck with pen striping. Had nothing to do with what went on in the car. Sort of like Don and a few others don't understand the custom of the Fuzzy Dice hanging on the mirror. Edited October 14, 2009 by Norm's Coupe Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I wouldn't have known what TMI meant. So, what if you break up with your girlfriend? Then you have to take her name off your car. And it's painted on there. Sounds more complicated than getting her out of your life. What I don't understand is people who get tattoos of the name of their current boyfriend/girlfriend. Talk about an impulse purchase. Every time I see someone with one of those, I want to say, "You're not with him/her anymore, are you?" Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Joe, Don't know what would happen if you broke up with that girl. Never had that problem since I never painted a girls name on my car. But........lots of guys did. Guess they just painted over it with a spray bomb and put their new girl's name on it. Remember, these weren't show cars back then, they were just everyday clunkers that we paid 50 to $100 for to begin with. Quote
