A '59 Chrysler in the top photo? I like the "expert repair" painted on the plywood. Just where I'd want to bring my ride.

"Johnny", I don't know where or how you find these CLASSIC "Throwback Thursday" Pictures.

They bring back memories of a very different time among us more SENIOR Members.

Sadly though, as I go back through the dozens of pages to view some of your GREAT Throwback Thursday Photos, many are now gone. I don't know if it's only my computer or if it happens to everyone.

Maybe I can check with the boss one of these days and find out why that happens.

Well Johnny, just wanted to mention, "another great job in providing us with your contributions".

"Ain't that right gang" !!!!

Indeed! Good job Ken...Sonny Fox was the host of a three hour childrens program on Sunday mornings called 'Wonderama' from 1959-1967. Fox was also POW during WWII.
A part of the show had tongue twisters, two I finally mastered; UNIQUE NEW YORK and SHE MAKES A PROPPER CUP OF COFFEE IN A COPPER COFFEE POT. Say them three times if you can...

Any guesses on C?

t123ken · Feb 28, 2020

I knew Chuck McCann and Sonny Fox right off the bat.
I have the answer to C, but I cheated. I don't think it's right to use Google to answer a question.
I'll wait until tomorrow before I give the answer.

Cheatin' is fine, otherwise I'd still be in High School...

JohnnyGage - I just did a bit of very quick research based on your comment that Sonny Fox was a WW II POW (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Fox) and traced back to Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roddie_Edmonds) and (https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-edit-roddie-edmonds-20200119-valus2posvck5pwxve7uyjfeay-story.html) who saved Fox?s life and the lives of an ?estimated 200 (G.I.) Jews from being singled out from the camp for Nazi persecution and possible death.?

I propose that every member of The Site contact their Congressional, Senate and other electeds and ?urge? them in the strongest language to make sure that MSGT Edmonds be awarded the Congressional. I?d further ask that each member ask their family, friends, neighbors, union and others to participate in this campaign. It seems to me that standing up to evil when a pistol is pointed at one?s head is, beyond any doubt, an act of heroism in the literal face of the enemy. If this man is not awarded the Medal it will be a gross injustice and a stain on our national honor. The fact that it has not yet happened is a national disgrace.

This is a little ant-climactic after the story of Roddie Edmonds and Sonny Fox, but C is Mike Mercury from the TV show Supercar.
I remember the show but I never really watched it. It wasn't animated - the characters were puppets.
When I first saw C I thought it was a dummy made up to look like Sonny Fox. I see a resemblance.

raybrag · Feb 29, 2020

These are the only puppets I remember from TV . . .

And by the way . . . I have a bottle of CamphoPhenique in my medicine cabinet now . . . and it ain't from the dark ages, either! Oh . . . and the Muppets don't count.

JohnnyGage · Feb 29, 2020

ANSWER C; you got it Ken, Mike Mercury, star of 'Supercar' that was a UK production with 39 episodes shown in US from 1961-1962. The show incorporated supermarionettenation. The show's ugly characters and spastic movements freaked me out as a kid.
