You'll buy me a beer?

As long as it isn't one of those overpriced trendy UK beers that you post about on the Facebook.

Does America even have any decent beer?

I just want to share what I have spent a lifetime accumulating, and learn something now and then.

I do want to share something right now that is not comic book related, althongh it is magazine related.

What I want to share is my new old car. It is my current "baby".

This car was one of ten made in 1966. And by that I mean, there were only ten made in the Plymouth factory in California in 1966 that came from the factory in Playmate Pink.

I am sure that few, if any, of you know that starting in 1964, Hugh Hefner of Playboy Magazine gave a new pink car to the Playmate of the Year. I think he still does that. I know that he deviated once or twice over the years. One year he gave a POTY a boat, and another time I think he gave a car that was not pink. But almost always they were pink cars. I think mine was the only Plymouth he ever gave to a POTY. There is a list on the internet, with pictures, of all the pink cars over the years. This one is there. I also have a signed picture of Lisa Baker with this car.

Anyway, I now own the car Playboy gave to the 1967 Playmate of the Year, Lisa Baker. But they gave her a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda instead of a 67' car. That is now my "baby". It has a 318 V8, with auto transmission and power steering. It looks cherry (totally redone but painted in the original factory pink just as Hugh Hefner special ordered it). I sold my 56' Dodge Coronet to purchase this vehicle. I am looking forward to taking it to some Classic Car Rally's this summer. It has the original radio in it, but alas, it does not work. So I am going to have a new CD player mounted in the glove box, out of sight. It has the biggest piece of glass ever put on a passenger car (so I am told). The back seats fold down and that makes 7 feet of area in the back. Two people could "sleep" (or whatever) in that area.
