Whip,you might remember Nathan Devine..yellow and white 56 Pontiac h/top..He had to keep up with the craze back then..Used to lean the cry baby against the front of the yak..While on a session one Saturday,we got T bonez wife to make a big red tongue,about two feet long,and we fixed it on the inside of the grille..Its first day out was at the Kumeu festival,,with cry babies head thru the grille,and the big red tongue wrapped around its leg...Sorry,no pix..Nate got a phone call,and had to leave fairly quickly,,and he got down the road,about half a mile,and had to stop at a pedestrian crossing..Unfortunately,the couple crossing the road had a little kid about 5 years old with them,,and he saw the cry baby,which Nate had forgotten about,,,sticking out of the grille,,with a big tongue wrapped around its leg...even worse,,because of the cam,the engine was rockin and rollin a bit,and the cry babies leg was just touching the ground,and twitching away with the engine at idle...Well,mom and dad were furious at Nate,,kid was wailing his head off,poor little beggar,,and Nate was wondering what went wrong..until he realised what he had FORGOTTEN to do..There were red faces all round that night,,as we had all forgotten about it..
