Does anybody have any info on the 3W coupe pictured here with the beach boys for some kind of Christmas promo? The chrome grille shell is so bitchin and I would love to see more pics/learn more about the car.
Don't have any info on the coupe, but here are a couple more pix from the same photo shoot that were gleaned from the HAMB.
I remember every year in H.S. we held a Christmas assembly and the Pom Poms did a routine to the Beach Boys, "Little Saint Nick". Damn those girls were sexy!
Man, the high headlights along with the chrome shell and stock top are speaking to me. Everything about this car is so right.
And a real thick wallet. A lot thinner when I was done LOL. Straight axle front Jag rear, can't remember what the bill was but the chorme shop loved me. Everything under it was plated.
I see now that the box says "Al Jardine of The Beach Boys Li'l Deuce Coupe". So it was based on the real car.....
In 2008 you posted that you had just sold the Al Jardine 3-window coupe, never mentioning that you built it. Mick
Never seen these pictures but they sure are cool. I'm wondering if they were taken for promo pictures for a Christmas card from them or maybe for the release of their Christmas album I believe came out in 1964. I have seen their Christmas album with various different covers over the years every time they rerelease them.
After seeing at least a thousand painted Deuce grill shells the chrome looks out of place. I like the matching paint.
For those who have access to SiriusXM radio, Channel 4 Spotlight has become "The Beach Boys Channel" all summer long. I'm been listening to it for about six weeks now.
