NTX5467 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I wonder if you can mix Spam with the crushed pineapple in the pie in the ad?JohnThe crushed pineapple would be placed over the sliced SPAM, then placed in a pre-heated oven for sufficient time for the pineapple to fully marianade into the SPAM, providing a unique taste as well as crunchy ornamentation.Check it out at your nearest A&P at the SPAM Demonstration Table, near the soft drinks and AlkaSeltzer.Enjoy!NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 This article now lends creedence to Progoofoff's fiberglass 55 as a factory produced prototype vehicle. See page 92 at the top. This would explain the fixed windows and lack of a body plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG57Roadmaster Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 From one who actually likes Spam, thanks for the great article Lamar. There's nothing like a contemporary report of something we can all enjoy, learning about the design background of our beautious babies. Lucky for us, they chose to feature the Buick Studio. As for the '55 fiberglass 4drht (mentioned above), its home-built origins have already been revealed by the OP's own sleuthing. That said, LIFE's article does give hope that long-lost studio-builds may be hiding out there.TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
