There is some really interesting info on the web about the Black Beauty. I have always wanted to get an Imperial of that vintage. That car totally changed my desire for cars. Maybe that is why I drive an Olds 98 (last traditional AMERICAN looking sedan that GM put out.) and LOVE fender skirts.
As an interesting aside, a lot of people credit George Barris with the design, as he did the Batmobile for the other superhero show of the time. However, it was actually the great Dean Jeffries who did the work. While Jeffries is arguably the greatest customizer of his time, he was apparently a total wacko and a pain to deal with. Not that unusual amongst great artists....

Naked City

Naked City, an amazingly smart, sophisticated detective show from 1958 always ended each episode with:

"There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This has been one of them."

Miami Vice.

Flamingos, babes in bikinis, cigarette boats (no doubt running cocaine AND bikini babes!) and Crockett and Tubbs in the Ferrari Daytona Spyder all overlaid with that great themesong! Whew! Now that's a mood-setter!

Although y'all were in diapers, maybe you remember the theme to Peter Gunn. That set a mood, too.

The 1948 film noir that inspired it, down to the ending phrase, was very good, too.

Yeah, baby...Peter Gunn. Mancini. 1958. Jazz. Black & White. About says it all..Detectives were "Hard Boiled", drank martinis, smoked 4 packs of Luckys a day, ate nothing but steak 'n' baked potatoes, wore sharkskin suits, women were "Dames" & knew when to keep their traps shut.

And wore stockings (real stocking, not pantyhose) and high heels. Gams.

Yep, an' remember how it was absolutely SCANDALOUS if the seam of a Dame's hose wasn't ramrod straight...Hell, she might have been "Loose" or something...<grin>

Yeah, but the best part of all was when she turned around and bent over to straighten her seams...

Ditto to chili555 in re: Miami Vice. Another good one, albeit not as exciting as Miami Vice, was the tape recorder (and the tape that subsequently burned up) on Mission Impossible.

Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons.
