That's a feeble attempt at humor based, on the lyrics of "California Girls". :-)

I grew up in a Midwestern town of about 50K people. The local custom and hot rod car scene was fairly active, but we all knew that the "best" came from California!

One day in the mid sixties, I heard that somebody local had bought a "California car"! All of my friends were buzzing about it... then one day I saw it! It was a beautiful black '57 Nomad with flames and mag wheels. All of those things were somewhat rare at the time. We were all in "awe" of it!!!!!

I have had my hands all over great rods and customs for the last 35 years. I even flamed a black Nomad... but THAT California Nomad will always stand out in my mind as something special!

Anyone else have a similar story???
