Title: Anyone remember this tee shirt?
Post by: deathsled on May 15, 2023, 09:43:23 PM
It seems this one has become rare. I have one with a blue 427 Cobra emblazoned across the chest. Due to said scarcity I have decided to mothball mine before it turns ratty. Unless anyone knows where new ones are being printed. Mine says Mustangs Unlimited on the back. I wish it were blank on the back instead.

It looks like something that John Paradise would have done?

I take it he is/ was the proprietor of Paradise Wheels? It's such a great illustration. I saw it when I was considerably younger and it left an impression on me.

No, no. He started a Ford magazine in the late '70s or early '80s called "Super Ford".

He would do illustrations like that for the "magazine".

I used to get that magazine from time to time. Is Mr. Paradise still around?

He seems to have disappeared from sight after selling the magazine. I have not heard of him since.
