  1. Cool exhibit. Always had a thing for the Avanti, still looks moderne. When my family moved back to California in '65 my dad drove us up the hill from the flatlands...to Eldorado Hills...a new and developing area. Sunset magazine had built a concept house there. Lots of glass...separate room/buildings connected with glass-walled hallways. Haven't thought about that house for years. Might take a trip up and see if it still exists.Have to google it, I suppose...Bruce Brown, yeah...nice exhibit. Thanks for posting.

    1. You should write a bloody book Laz, so much history in that head of yours . . . the Kaufman house in Palm Springs has always been a killer for mine.

  2. Let me just say that all that is my shit. Pretty much could and would live in a airstream trailer as long as I could park it next to my GIANT shop. I have that Chet Baker record and it is one of my Sunday morning chill out jam. Try it.

    1. One of my faves as well Anchorman, along with 'Kind of Blue' . . . when I'm on the road selling vino I stay in a refurbed Airstream in a town on the coast, it's always awesome.
