in the very early 60's there was a carnival that came to town in in
the parking lot of zares department store in north miami beach...it
had dare devils that road vintage motorcycles in a sphere and a
vintage sports car in a trailer that you could view for .25 cents...I
belive the car was boasted as formerly belonging to the duke of

presented as being painted with 60 pounds of solid gold...the interior

at the time, it was something very sweet, vintage and real
