Anyone remember this tee shirt?
« 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.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

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.
