Folks Of Interest Where's Bluto

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by blackjack, Aug 3, 2014.

  1. Anyone heard from Bluto recently? I spoke to him on Skype when he moved to Poland and saw him at Retromobile Paris about 3 years ago.

    That guy had some cool stuff and knew anyone worth knowing....
     
  2. He posted yesterday on the Old Farts Social Forum.
     
  3. Jim posted this morning on the Hamb old farts club social group. HRP

    Hey, wasn'tthat big ugly brute that used to whip up on Popeye in the old movie cartoons named Bluto? This post just brought back that old memory. Jimmie
     
  9. Catch him on the monthly Banger thread.
     
  10. You are correct his name was Bluto until 1957 and then it changed to Brutus.

    Although this has nothing to do with Jim,a little more brain numbing nonsense ,,,I believe in the 80's a comic book company did a piece and described Bluto & Brutus as twin brothers. HRP

    Still alive! I gave my body and woodwork projects to leave me free to do engines and maintenance on our collection……. In a few weeks this will show up here and after all these years (late 70's) I'll get it running. I'll need to go to the barn and send them another one

    This is a one-off fabric cover body. Left BMW as a rolling chassis. Genuine special bodied car. It makes me feel very good to see it today and we'll feel even better to drive!

  13. Very nice car - those guys look to have bucket loads of talent. The Teardrop looks amazing, terrific profile.

    Glad to hear you're still posting. I always enjoyed hearing your take on how it was...

    Do you still go to Retromobile Paris?

    Nice to hear from my friend Bluto. I'd rather rummage through Bluto's collection than go to Disneyland. He has the coolest stuff.
