We would have a party every year or so and add layer upon layer of lovely paint to cover the rust. |

Prizes, such as the lusted after "Rock Lobster Suit" (well, the B-52's were in original heat at the time) were given for no real reason. |

The car was adorned with hood ornaments ranging from a Sandlot Slugger, to a plastic lobster, and eventually, plastic dinosaurs. |
|
But the car died on the way to an Elvis wake in August, 1985. We coasted down the Cumberland Plateau at 80 mph, in smooth windy silence. |
So I cut it up and gave it away for Christmas that year. The Dart we drove to Colorado never got the lovely paint, but was adorned with clay hood ornaments. |
