My dad ran a grocery store in Colony kansas around late 1970 or 1971. I was grooving on some tunes at the check out counter as i was the sacker and carry out boy. When this guy pulls up With long horns attached to the front of the grill! He came in a bought some cigars. I ask this guy and mom if i could look at his car up close both said ok. It was a 1970 w30 forrest green 22 ct goldhand painted pin stripes so he claimed and 14ct gold pistols for door handles barrels were plugged. He had black and white cow hide seats. This guy had a gold oil rig belt buckle and silver tip boots. The head rest in the car were branded oil man!

 

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.


Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?.

Donna Douglas was a beauty contest winner surprisingly enough

Their truck is an Olds

well executed lyrics there, hardly any errors

 

That is a fun thing about living in Texas - lots of over the top characters and their cars. I see a car with longhorns mounted on the hood regularly every month or so driving around. Usually a late 60's - early 70's GM big car vert, but could also be a pick-up truck, old Datsun econobox, or whatever.

A recent favorite was an old caddy convertible painted up like a Texas Flag with horns cruising down a back country road. Would have looked even better with Ellie Mae, Dawn Wells from Gilligans island fame, or even Barbara Eden from Genie in it. For those under 40, you'll have to look them up.

 

Dude those horns were from tip to tip that spanned the whole front end huge!! The only thing missing was rattle snake stuff and i would lay money he had something in the trunk that was rattle snake!
