Wasn't one of Brian's best days when he was interviewed, I guess... Title: Re: Litttle Deuce Coupe in the N.Y. Times Post by: Marty Castillo on June 22, 2015, 05:34:00 AM I took my sons to the Gilmore Car Museum (http://www.gilmorecarmuseum.org/) this past weekend and saw this beauty on display:

It's about 45 minutes south of Grand Rapids and less than 30 minutes north of Kalamazoo. Title: Re: Litttle Deuce Coupe in the N.Y.

Thanks for posting all of this.

Title: Re: Litttle Deuce Coupe in the N.Y. Times Post by: Marty Castillo on September 10, 2015, 07:18:40 AM Do we know where the Surfin' Safari yellow pickup truck is currently located? If no, what was the history of that truck? The only information I could come up with on the board had to do with what they used in Love & Mercy. Thanks!

Title: Re: Litttle Deuce Coupe in the N.Y. Times Post by: Marty Castillo on June 22, 2016, 01:37:20 PM I recently returned to the Gilmore Car Museum. I was afraid the Little Deuce Coupe would be gone since it is on loan and the hot rod temporary exhibit was making way for muscle cars, but it's still there. Here is my extremely poor video and editing skills:
