Loyd's BONUS video-clip, # 13!!!--- A classic ad for a classic car!!

 Being that I'm a MAJOR classic Mustang  freak, coming across this vintage 1968 commercial was like I'd found a long-lost hidden treasure!! The father of the Shelby Mustang himself, Carroll Shelby--- talking about (and driving!!) my favorite pony-car!! The '67-'68 models have ALWAYS been my personal favorites,by the way!! More on that  below!! Now, let's check out this CLASSIC ad---

Now, being that  I've NEVER been wealthy in any kind of way, and certainly not a millionaire--- I've NEVER came even CLOSE to owning a Shelby Mustang!! Just a 'dream car', as far as I'm concerned!!  

Heck, I've only owned one 'classic'-model 'Stang--- a VERY raggedy, rusted-out '67!! That was when I was a mere 19 year-old!!! TOO young, and too nearly-broke to fix it up like it needed to be!! 

I was as proud as I could be of it though!! This was despite seeing the road pass underneath me, while driving---through a nearly 3-inch hole in the floorboard!! It was a CLASSIC 'Stang, and it was mine though!!! Rusted-through spots and all!!! 

I guess owning that ol 'Stang, along with the couple that my dad owned over the years before that, is what's been at the core of my life-long love of the classic Ford-four-seater!! Numerous models,toys and replicas of various Mustangs, not to mention HUNDREDS of magazines and books, in the 'Loydster collection',all testify to it being MORE than just a passing interest, that's for SURE!!

Additions to the 'hide-out' / 'crime-fighting headquarters'!!!

This here blog-thang-a-wing-dang-doodle being about 'Loyd AND his stuff'' (hey, it's in the TITLE, after all, right???)---- I figured an occasional update on the doo-dads and gee-gaws in the 'Loydster man-cave / rumpus-room' wouldn't be too out of place!!

Here we have some items I've slapped up on what little wall space / empty spots I could find around the place, since initially setting the room back up, last summer.----

JUST in case anyone entering, is kinda wondering just WHO this hide-out belongs to!!!

Next, some framed items that were actually dug out of some old photo albums I browsed through recently!! this stuff is just TOO COOL to leave  moldering away in one of those!!----

The official John Wayne postage stamp, from 2004!! This is DEFINATELY worthy of putting on PROUD display!!

Pic of Debbie, the kiddos, and me---- at GRACELAND,plus the admission ticket!!! This stop,during our 1999 vacation trip,was a life-long dream come true for a shameless  'Elvis JUNKY' like me!!! I WILL return for another tour through there, someday!! 

 AND--- What would a room nick-named a 'cave' be, without at LEAST one poster of one of my favorite 'Bat-rides' of all time!!!---

The movie came out on my BIRTHDAY,in 1989, by the way!!! How NIFTY-NEAT-O-COOL is THAT!!???

Last, but certainly not least, we have a couple of additional posters hung up in the stairwell,going up to the room. BOTH are exactly right,considering how MUCH a certain 'caped crusader' is featured throughout my little 'hide-out'!!!---

This is a 'mini-poster' (8x17) version of the one I always wanted to snag,but wasn't able to, back in '89!!

Just another thing that HAD to be put up!!! If nothing else, just to provide positive PROOF--that I'm a HOPELESS GEEK-A-ZOID!!

One very last pair, also in a little notch next to the stairwell!!! Further proof of my utter and complete GOOFY-GEEKY-NESS!!!---

An exceptionally COOL piece of art, by my good buddy, Jeff Arnold--features Commissioner Gordon, on the hot-line to Batman!! OR-- maybe he's just checking out Moe and Larry doing dental-work on Curly!!!

There you have it!! The most recent additions to the goodies,brick-a-brats, and what-nots in and around the 'Loydster-Lair' / 'Secret-Sanctum'!!! The room that's become pretty much a hobby itself!!!!
