14 cents times 100,000 members equals $14,000 a day. Ryan Cochran is going to be VERY rich

Sort of puts you in mind of Johnny Mantz winning the 1950 Southern 500 (and $25,000) in a Plymouth Cranbrook flatty! When ENDURANCE is the watchword, sme surprising things have happened!

 

yea for the plymouth cranbrook!!! who says them plymouths are worth crap???

 

Darn right, FarmerGal! Some people don't realize that Plymouth was the number-three seller for many, many years! If I'm not mistaken, it broke Number Two a couple of times, too.

 

These are from a great site celebrating our love affair with
the sea. It's called Coastal Living, and among offerings are
a variety of LIFE Magazine photos on the aforementioned
subject. The work of many very distinguished photograph-
ers is featured. It's a visual picnic and romp at the beach!
Lots of contemporary material, too, not only nostalgia.
