Hills that is...Swimmin pools, movie stars
As a child that was one of my favs along with the Flintstones. It was not until I was an adult I understood the giant ribs tipped over the Flintstone mobile.
Edit: Also Gilligan's Island and Green Acres.

Finally got my W111 coupe out of storage and into my "new" barn. Good to get out of a storage unit after many years. On a side note: went to a car show over the weekend and was admiring a particular car with exceptional bodywork/paint and asked the owner what shop did the work. He said he did it in his driveway! He had 3 cars at the show and he did all of them.

Looks good. Is the "barn" your new shop?

Live on the Oregon Coast. "Barn" is a combination of a 24x40 frame building and a 24x40 pole barn (40x48 total). The pole barn roof covers 1/2 of the frame building leaving the front exterior frame building wall inside. It's not a bad building but needs work and renovation.
I was driving the coupe up to about 10 years ago when we started moving. I have lots of mods I am making to the coupe detailed elsewhere in the forum.
