That’s right sir, I’m following him now. What’s that sir? Is he driving a go kart? No, it’s a little deuce coupe, flathead powered. Pardon? An APB? Right away sir.

It's a 33!

 

Of course it is Roy. Somebody didn't know what Buddy Holly looked like. Roy's wife Claudette was killed in a motorcycle and not long after at least one of their kids was killed in a housefire while he was on tour in England. A lot to handle...

 

Great article.

 

No but have seen many racing karts that used them including myself and they worked great.

Awful intense for driving zero mph.

 

An Avanti owner told me they came with a sticker that warned of opening the windows above a certain speed making the rear window pop out. I never confirmed if that was true.

 

Huntington Beach Specifically. That's the Golden Bear in the background. Now long gone.

 

I really like the pic of Ute. Not sure of year as they look same/similar for at least 4 or 5 years. Wish I had one. Looked at one in L.A. for sale about 3 years ago, but rust was more than my limited skills could deal with.

1 more car I promise, Rex Winter
