Jerry called my tow vehicle a scruburban.

  Dennis in Lititz PA

A term believed to be coined by Jerry Christenson.

How about Scrubolet? Now do you get it.

I can't bear to type out out the real name.

Ted, that scrap bin is one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.

I'll never forget going to visit my mother's uncle in 1957. He was showing off his brand new 57 smell-aire 4 door. Even at 6 years old I thought it was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen, until the 58's came out. Followed by the bizarre 59's and the take the cake for ugly 1960's. scrub didn't make a decent looking car again until 1961.

Speaking of throwing away old scrubs……

My dad bought it new and I let a friend talk me into installing a 351 W/C-4 and I decided it needed to be lowered and put aftermarket wheels on it but after seeing the pics I need to put it back the way it was,I am not going back to 6 volt and I am going to keep the disc brakes but I am going to put the original dog dish hubcaps with 2 inch whitewalls and get it sitting back up some but not exactly like it came from the factory as they tended to be a little too nose high.  I was originally going to keep the 272 and adapt a FMX as I did not like the FOM since I had 50s Olds for years and liked the 4 speed hydromatics and the FOM seemed like a big slug but I let a friend talk me into the newer motor,I am on the hunt for a 292 and will go with a FMX and probably keep the 8 inch rear end too,the friend that talked me into changing the motor is hunting for a 57 to 60 F100 and when he gets one and if it has a 292 its going to be mine and will start from there on putting it back close to what it should be.
