Is that a big wooden plank stuck on its nose, or am I seeing things?



RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - the Ferret - 07-05-2023

Yep probably used to push things with.

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - the Ferret - 07-07-2023

How about a 1967 Lincoln Continental like was used in the TV series The Green Hornet with Van Williams as the Green Hornet and Bruce Lee as Kato?

Nice! I helped restore a '62 Continental years ago. It was madness. That car tried to employ the levels of luxury features we take for granted now. But, with '60s technology, they did it with vacuum and fluid pressure instead of computers. Not fun. But a very pretty car.

Bruce Lee did play Kato, you are correct. The Black Beauty, however, was a Chrysler. I'm sure the bad guys drove Lincolns...
And, if you watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in the scene where Bruce Lee is kicked into the side of a car, that car is a Lincoln. So... there is a tie-in of sorts. Smile

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - the Ferret - 07-07-2023

hmmm then I was misinformed by a very good friend about the Lincoln being in the show. We were driving to lunch yesterday as usual (only in my truck instead of the bikes cause it was raining), and I spotted the car and said "Jimmy what kind of car is that?" and he said " That's a mid 60's Lincoln Continental like was used in the Green Hornet TV series" Sorry for the bad info. Bad Jimmy!

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - Gone in 60 - 07-07-2023

Actually, the cars look fairly similar for an interesting reason.

Chrysler’s sales were falling in the early’60s. The blame was largely placed on their chief stylist, Virgil Exner. Meanwhile, Bill Engel had just designed the smash hit Lincoln starting with the 1961 model.

What did Chrysler do? Fire Exner and replace him with Engel. So, it’s not surprising that by the mid ‘60s, Chrysler Imperials looked quite a bit like his earlier ‘60s Lincolns.

ok I'll forgive Jimmy this time, but he's on thin ice! Tongue

Your knowledge of this stuff is amazing Gone. Worship

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - Gone in 60 - 07-07-2023

I’d cut him some slack. The Black Beauty was so heavily modified that hardly looked like a Chrysler or a Lincoln.

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - Gone in 60 - 07-07-2023

I know it's a challenge of my own making, but it would be much easier if they'd let me park my CB inside the museum, instead of in the garage. I'd just park it next to something made out of brass and wood and take a picture.

After submitting that the CB1100 is a historically significant motorcyle, as it is Honda's, and perhaps the world's last air-cooled, four cylinder inline production model, and therefore the last example of a classic UJM, I was told to stop bucking for indoor parking.

However... now that we have photographic evidence that Jay Leno considers the bike significant, they might change their tune. We will see.

I have told Mrs. Gone not to spin my Saturday Chore Wheel until I get back from our local early morning hot rod gathering, where I hope to find something interesting.

In the meantime, I submit to you, the 1982 Crown 30SP42TT-S. A true classic. And, I just finished cleaning and gapping most of its drive relays, so it is once again moving under its own power. It also has a steering wheel, which, in my book, makes it a car.

Still a very interesting image Ferret.
