After an extensive search for the past several weeks for the perfect Command Vehicle for CT Balsam, owner of the very successful Evergreen Christmas Tree Company, CT’s new“ride” arrived today and immediately went into service. It is a 1937 Buick Special Phaeton Convertible in a handsome deep red with a top-up tan roof. CT also offered an open invitation to one of his favorite fans, Bill Webb, that he will be happy to take him “for a ride” the next time he visits the City. Bill, how can you refuse that offer.

That is definitely a sweet ride, very fitting for a captain of industry.
Bill, I urge you to accept CT's offer and take a ride in that beauty.

Tell you what. You get one of those and I will be there.
So I can be bribed. What a beautiful vehicle!
BUT, as for “Taking a ride” with good ole C T, lets trade a ride in his Al Capone knock off for a ride aboard Poor Girl for a day’s fishing offshore. That’s where he may meet a real shark, the likes of which he has only read about. The great whites are congregating off the Outer Banks this Spring in unusual numbers due to a tremendous run of yellowfin tuna. It is a perfect locale for C T.
Now the mayor is going to want something of equal opulence and I am sure that a small deduction from the pensioner’s fund can again be made.
Maybe our Canadian friend would also like to join us.
Yesterday I was polite in my reaction to the silly boat show idea but now I am going to dig that up and reply. Paula said that I should have sent it yesterday.

Bill, I urge you to accept CT's offer and take a ride in that beauty. Now look, I guess you have joined Crab and have allowed one of them red trucks full of dried tree needles and rotted holly berries on your layout too. Captain of industry, HA. C T is a two bit purveyor of used toothpicks. Wake up. He doesn’t grow his trees. The mayor’s garbage trucks pick up the dead Christmas trees and C T runs them through a reconditioning process that spits out a year’s supply of genuine used toothpicks and the rest is glued up to form those spindly excuses for a broomstick that C T has convinced people are acceptable as Christmas trees. i can see PTC being snowed by C T, he is so used to the Great White North that he can’t tell the difference. But you should be ashamed of falling for this tale of take.

Bill, as I understand it, CT is a master fisherman and loves to use the hook. I bet he would love a fishing trip with you. In the meantime, CT has to get ready for what is expected to be a boom 2020 Christmas season. He now has a nice ride to help in his important work.

Oh boy, every time I see CT Balsam’s name I know the thread is going to get interesting. Didn’t he get a new ride not very long ago? This guy seems to have money to burn. Tell him to send some my way.

Now look, I guess you have joined Crab and have allowed one of them red trucks full of dried tree needles and rotted holly berries on your layout too. No, I don't have one of CT's trucks on my layout, but I would welcome one. After all, folks along the A&JB need Christmas trees when it get's to be that time of year.Captain of industry, HA. C T is a two bit purveyor of used toothpicks. Wake up. He doesn’t grow his trees.

You've obviously given this a lot more thought than I have, Bill, but I do know that there's two sides to every story, and on the other hand I have five fingers. Then again, I don't know what I'm talking about.i can see PTC being snowed by C T, he is so used to the Great White North that he can’t tell the difference. But you should be ashamed of falling for this tale of take. See here, nobody pulls the wool over the eyes of a Gambini, and, while it's true that I'm not a Gambini, Vinny Gambini and I are paesans, so, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said to Henry David Thoreau.....I don't remember what Ralph Waldo Emerson said to Henry David Thoreau, but whatever he said it was good and the same goes for me. What were we talking about?

"Oh boy, every time I see CT Balsam’s name I know the thread is going to get interesting. Didn’t he get a new ride not very long ago?"Adam, I went looking for the most ridiculous, ostentatious vehicle I could find just to make Bill's day. Found this one, but never seriously considered it.

Yes, that one would certainly fit the description!

Brian
Where can I find a beautiful car like that? I want one of those in front of the station. Forget what Bill Webb says. CT can park one in front of my station and a shiny red truck in my Christmas tree lot.
