Miss Kitty, BLUMAX and Murray
I'm flattered by all the attention this short subject has brought to date and have been warned that my debut to SAG--screen actors guild--may even result in clips that may show in some future ads--maybe the saying "Old Guys Rule" has some merit--as whenever I'm watching TV these days there are a lot of Octos doing TV ads it seems.
Quite frankly, if "Miss Kitty"--named after the lovely dance hall beauty from the "Gunsmoke TV Series" days--if she could drive she would have been the lead character in this short subject--as the camerman obviously was smitten with her--note her frequent appearance throughout the clip.
BTW--BLUMAX will be 41 on the 5th of September, just over 1/2 my age--and yes most agree he does look pretty good and he actually drives the same--still with gusto--after relentless care and maintenance now at slightly over 416,000 miles--once I learned how to keep him well. Now I try to share that with those who wish to drive their Coupes and preserve them for continued enjoyment for years to come.
I never expected nor planned to keep a car for so long--now almost 39 years--but since I have I'm commited to keeping the interior original and the exterior the same--re-sprayed yes--but wearing virtually all the trim he came with from the factory--and perhaps in my way serve as a positive example for other owners to keep theirs in fine roadable condition.
