A couple weeks back, I reported that I was the successful bidder on an ad
with a soap box derby car and an Alpine. Well, I just got it in the mail.
It's not a soap box derby racer at all. It's the back of an old Ford with
a rumble seat. I don't know now if I've ever seen one with a soap box car.
I presume I have not. (Now crack all you want about mistaking the back of a
Ford for a racer - my only excuse is the quality of the pictures I saw on
the net).
FWIW, when I asked the seller where the ad came from, because I had
searched all my old car magazines for it, he replied "Playboy" 1963
(possibly the May issue). I got a great kick out of that - as I hadn't
even thought about looking there.
(I might have reported this before, sorry if I did this twice).
