anyone have an old Trico catalog?
> Looking for some information on old Trico wiper blades, specifically > those used on old Corvettes and Studebakers. I have no answer to the question, but it reminds me about today's New York Times... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/au...pagewanted=all First time I saw an Avanti it looked like a mash-up of 70s design ideas, both production and kit-car. Then I realized that it embodied all those 70s ideas in 1962 and came away with a lot more respect... (Whether I *like* it, I still don't know; my tastes run more toward Brooks Stevens. But it was like not much else on the road then, and quite influential.) Next up: old Corvettes. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/au...pagewanted=all --Joe |

But it was like not much else on the road then, and > quite influential.) I still can't quite forgive Brooks Stevens for the GT Hawk though... It's not a bad looking car until you realize that it was based on the original Bob Bourke '53 hardtop... The Avanti I'm conflicted on like you. It looks great from behind, or from behind the wheel, but some views are lovely and some are just a little awkward. Note that the pic in the article is an Avanti II, which has the front end raised up a little compared to the original Avanti, which had a bit of a rake to it. To my eye that completely changes the character of the car, and I prefer the original which has a much more hot rod vibe to it. > > Next up: old Corvettes. > http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/au...pagewanted=all Cool... nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
