How about a stern warning for a first offense?
This picture was almost 40 years ago. Time moves quickly these days. No more dark hair..That’s for sure.

Most of mine has changed color and some of it didn't want to stick around to see how the color change was going to look....

Looks brand spanking new! Nice job.

You know what it means when a car is called a "20-footer"? This amp's a bit like that......

LOL - I’ve owned a few of those cars.

Good idea.

I'm not familiar w/that phrase - what does it refer to?

I had one of these twenty footers in 1978.

It'll prolly be LOUD.

I had the Kasino 200 head and 2x15 cab. Same as a Kustom, sans the tuck and roll. Circa ‘73 or ‘74. @GonePlaid still has the combo version, although I think his is an earlier vintage. Loudest amp I’d ever heard at the time (other than ACCs which were way out of my price range). Yep, it was hard to tame in some venues (today a simple HPF would make it a non-issue). High School gyms were the worst. Still, I loved it. It was my sound back in the day.

Mine's a '70. Bought new, still have, still loud.

...oh, so really long excessive '70s land-cruisers. A friend was "gifted" his parents T-bird and I got a ride in it. It was huge! but the interior felt cramped! The epitome of bad design. The late '50s had some huge outrageous designs - but nothing as hideous as '70s cars.

I’ll be here at least as long as it takes to sort out my wife’s medical challenges. When you’re over 60 there’s a lot to be said for living within an hours drive of some of the best medical facilities in the world.

Yep. USC-Keck Medical Center. UCLA Medical Center. Cedars Sinai. UC Irvine Medical Center. UC San Diego - Scripps. The City of Hope. We are very fortunate.

That's what I assumed, the big problem with 70's cars also was that as the decade went on they became slower and slower and sucked up more and more gas. The Olds I had was very roomy, it was so wide I couldn't reach the passenger door from the driver's seat and it had bucket seats.

Since we're on animals, our cat is doing much better.

I think they may have been inspired by this:


1958 Lincoln Continental Mk III

I'd love to have one of those, I can actually remember seeing them when I was a kid, they were HUGE. Jay Leno has one and does a segment on it. They had close to 400 HP which was a real lot in 1958.
