Austin Baird's Crew - Surfside 1963
These guys are goofing-off in the Kanvas by Katin
parking lot. They're trying to figure out how
much gas money they have.

What kind of car is that?
Anonymous - The non-operating kind.
Thanks, Bob D.
That's a 1950s Morris Minor, made in the UK. Great little cars - although Morris head honcho Lord Nuffield told designer Alec Issigonis (who later designed the Mini) it looked like "a poached egg on wheels". Great pics, cool site.
Marty - You Da Man! Thanks, Bob.
Cool site, I especially like the picture of the old power plant in Seal Beach. Memories are priceless. Thanks!

Austin - My Dad has been trying to get a hold your Dad for a few years. I guess during high school they hung out with the same crowd. Feel free to email me at surfersrule@gmail.com, and lets see if we can hook up these old guys.
Thanks, Bob D.

That was my 1952 Morris Minor. It had about 120,000 miles on it at the time. It would probably not pass any modern safety inspetion, new. Took about 200 yards to stop it from 60mph, if it ever reached that speed.
