I'm glad that least a few people still remember Wally. I usually leave it off my resume, but I was the original producer of that show when it started back in the early 1980s for about nine months. There are some great stories however about a few of the guests that I might tell sometime.

I owned a cassette model, AND an 8-track model, both bought used at swap meets. Loved the green glow of the radio dial under the dash at night. Matched the dash of my 70 Impala Custom with a 400 small block and a gigantic trunk.

Ahhh, what a flash back that ignited Early 60's when I visited my Aunt and Uncle's home in Long Beach. Watching Freddie and wrestling from the Olympic Auditorium every afternoon was like a religious rite for my uncle. :thumbsup

Don't know facts about when the first stereo cassette players were in cars but when I bought my 1972 Challenger brand new, it came with this Motorola unit on the console with a microphone to boost. Never ever seen another with this option anywhere
at car shows or on the streets. Read it once in a Mopar mag that a deputy somewhere in the midwest had one and used this mike, secretly recording informants while in stealth mode. There was a switch on the mike you could hide in your left hand. Did prank some of my friends with it.

My car is only two weeks old in this picture. Never liked the hemi orange and vinyl tops, so had the car painted blue and removed the top.Paint on these old Mopars were low quality any ways, lol.

I grew up in Arcadia and was in 9th grade when they used to film Fantasy Island at the Arboretum in Arcadia. One afternoon my mom took my friend and I there to take some pictures for our photography class and saw they were filming a scene for Fantasy Island. After the scene we got to talk to Ricardo Montalban and take a few pictures of him. Herve Villacheze was an asshole, he wouldn't let us take pictures of him, but we did anyways.

Fast forward seven years, one night my friend and I were at the Palomino in Van Nuys to see Johnny Lee and the little asshole was there in a little Howdy Doody cowboy outfit. We kept throwing peanuts at him whenever he walked by and laughed - he never knew where they were coming from.

Where you a Motomag Guy?

Or a Tuff Wheel Guy?

Or did you run the Tuff Wheel in the rear and an alloy up front (I couldn't find a picture of that).

Had a set of the motomags on my webco

I always loved when Mel Blanc was on the Jack Benny Show. Here are a coupe of clips, one is the original Si/Sy skit that I think is funnier than Who's On First by Abbot and Costello. The other one is kind of long winded, but Mel Blanc totally makes it.
