Oohhhhhhhh... my eyes are hurting again!!!!! This is what happens when originality no longer matters and fantasy is everything. The present generation of folks have no idea what is original. And what is just plain absurd. So thingies get unleashed as purposely-obscure mysteries. And off to auction they go! Ready to be flipped more times than a flapjack pancake on a hot griddle.

So. Nowwww we know what happened with at least one of those leftover Auburn boat-tail kits that no one could give away back in the 1970s. They just doubled-down on the same tail lights and blended the rest into a (gulp!) Packard. Betting that raked-back cut-off windshield is about as steady as a bobble-head doll mounted on Jello. Gotta love the modern GM-look power window switches too. And on and on and on. You'd think that if they went this far, they should have included golf-bag doors on the quarters.

Surely (I hope) no one is taking any of this "Packard" silliness seriously? Really?

As for Rita Hayworth... I have photos taken of Rita and myself standing together in Newport Beach, California in the 1970s. Rita was no "platinum blonde"... but she certainly was a redhead. At the very least, you might get away with calling Miss Hayworth a "strawberry blonde..." but certainly not a "platinum blonde."
