OL BEAR OL BEAR [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] crown point, Indiana   Posted by cr55  -  05/27/2008 02:54 PM How could it be the inspiration for the song Little Duece Coupe and be built by Boyd Coddington? I remember the song from the early sixties. Boyd was building cars that long ago. Or am I missing something?....CR I thought that I knew it all , but..

That CRAFT syndrom --Can't remember a F*ckin thing. The song was an inspiration for the car . It was built in 72. Sorry. Although Boyd and I were buildin cars in the mid sixties together. Don [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Prescott, Arizona Charter Member since October 2001   Posted by cr55  -  05/27/2008 08:04 PM I remember having that album as a young guy(kid). I thought it had a picture of a highly modified deuce on the cover that had quad headlights and other goodies that didn't look like this 32! (could be senility) I have been wrong once or twice in my lifetime!!lol I already suffer from CRS, I can't afford another disease.....................CR I thought that I knew it all , but.. [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] dover, Delaware   Posted by 29robert  -  05/27/2008 08:47 PM This car was built after the album was released. The car on the cover didn't belong to the Beach Boys. This one was built for one of them when the song became so popular. Wasn't the cover car light Blue? Man, its hard to remember that far back. 29robert [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] La Verne, California Charter Member since November 2004   Posted by Crazyhorse Rod Shop  -  05/27/2008 09:00 PM it was a full blown custom. cant remember who built it. dont poke the porchdog........he bites [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] BLUFF DALE, Texas Charter Member since March 2003   Posted by da34guy  -  05/27/2008 09:22 PM Hey guys- To try and straighten out the confussion The car on the cover of the album was built by Bill Cushenberry in 1961 and on the show circuit for years. Was just used for a photo shoot for the cover. None of the Wilsons or any other member of the group ever owned it. ( The blue custom) Al Jardine of "The Beach Boys" Commissioned Boyd Coddington to build in 1972 as his personal toy. It did tour with the Beach Boys Concert tour in 1973, then went back to his collection. Don [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Prescott, Arizona Charter Member since October 2001   Posted by HenryThe32d  -  05/27/2008 09:31 PM The car on the cover of the Beach Boy album was owned by Clarence Catallo of Dearborn Mich, at the time.. He built it originally, and the Alaxender Bros. of Detroit had done work on it and also George Barris had his hand on it. It has changed hands a few times but now is owned by his son, Kirt. Clarence became a very successful stockbroker and a car collector. We became friends in the late 80's. One day I even saw him driving a Can Am car in a suit and tie in rush hour traffic, on the way to work. He left this earth a few years ago. HenryThe32d [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Bloomfield Hills, Michigan   Posted by 29robert  -  05/27/2008 09:54 PM But the cover car was blue and white with quad headlights right. Oh please say I remember correctly! LOL Oh, I just noticed the cover Shine posted. Thanks Shine. Man, do I feel better. Now, if I could only remember where I left my car! 29robert [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] La Verne, California Charter Member since November 2004   Posted by ol bear  -  05/27/2008 10:03 PM EVEN MONEY SAYS SHINES GOT THAT ALBUM ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OL BEAR OL BEAR [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] crown point, Indiana   Posted by HenryThe32d  -  05/27/2008 10:09 PM I still do Jack HenryThe32d [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Bloomfield Hills, Michigan   Posted by bigdude  -  05/28/2008 12:42 AM Me too and several others resident know it all [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Three Rivers, Michigan Charter Member since January 2004   Posted by sloper38  -  05/28/2008 03:13 AM The album car was as ugly as, well for the sake of this forum let's just say it is about the ugliest deuce ever - that gets ink.

Everybody give yourself a pat on the back for remembering something from so long ago. I can remember everything about all of my cars and motorcycles, but I can't remember where I was yesterday!(grin).............CR I thought that I knew it all , but.. [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] dover, Delaware   Posted by DaveHughes  -  05/28/2008 09:01 AM correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure that the album cover car ( the blue one with the 4 headlights) was at the street rod nats in louisville on display in the exhibit building just a few years ago..... Maybe within the last 2- 3years??
