53 Cool Concept Cars… Part XVIII

I’m surprised I didn’t get to this one sooner…

I have been a fan of surf music since I was a kid…  I love the guitar riff and the drums.  And, as a car guy, there are a LOT of great car songs from surf bands.  So, if only for the cool music, it is time to build a cool surf wagon.

There aren’t that many late model cars that could be surf wagons.  The Dodge Magnum comes to mind, as does the Subaru Outback.  But I have to go classic here…  I’m thinking a 1961 Chrysler Newport Wagon.  The ‘hardtop’ version doesn’t have a ‘B’ pillar, the post between the front and rear doors.  So, with the windows down, the space is open from the vent window all of the way to the back of the back door.  And a 413 could fit in there…

Remember, surf wagons usually weren’t the coolest rides (then), they were what surfers could afford without getting a job.  They had to have a lot of space (boards, friends, stuff).  The cool came later.

So, in order to make this a Cool Concept, we would need to bring it…

  • the previously mentioned 413ci engine with a push button automatic transmission…
  • several yards of chrome in the interior… like most of the dash (in this case, that just means stock)
  • air-bag the suspension to be able to drop it to the ground…
  • 60s vintage mag wheels…
  • I’m kind of liking this tan and black… but teal and white might be cool, too…
  • maybe the door handles should be shaved…
  • gotta have a board rack on the roof, too.

And just to get you in the mood…

Motoring Monday… What Makes You Wheelie Happy?

I ran across these while surfing YouTube with my sons…  It seems that they really like construction equipment, school buses and rear engined muscle cars…

Small Business BarCamp Atlanta

Lane Bailey - Monday, 14 June 2010 11:07

I am proud to say that I attended the very first REbarcamp, which was a real estate industry specific technology “unconference”.  Basically, the idea behind barcamp is that the conferees get together and create an agenda and then host the sessions.  It is an amazing peer-to-peer discussion.

I just ran across one of these videos on the Disney Blog and had to see if there were any others.  I came up with three.
