FRANNY'S CANDIES “I roll the Kettledrum candy in my mouth.” Franny pictures herself chewing on Boston Fruit Slices and her jaw flexes automatically. “Chewy wedges taste lemon and lime and go BOOM-bah-BOOM when I bite into one.” She adds, “When I unwrap a second Kettledrum out of its tight parchment, I examine the sour and sugar-copper rind. They are better enjoyed in pairs. Tomás, why aren’t Kettledrum candies hard? Like Lifesavers or Butterscotches? When they clink against your teeth, they could sound like a snare or a top hat. I can hear a soft bass rumble a tympani symphony deep within me. I swear, the Kettledrums make my voice go baritone when I sing BOOM-bah-BOOM after eating one. It’s true: I’ve tried it!” Franny confesses this to me under her gummy-bear breath and I agree unconditionally the way a best friend must. We come here because most of her schoolmates do not make their way down the block to Doña Dolce.

Shortly after that, I was transferred again, and this time to the Lincoln studio, which was a place I hadn't previously been. It had a new chief stylist named John Najjar. The major project at hand was the all-new Lincoln and Continental and also finishing up the facelift of the '57 Lincoln, which Bill Schmidt hadn't quite completed before he left for Packard.

Once again, we opened up the time capsule and reached into the big mayonnaise jar and came up with another fine article to reprint in our March North Star News. While we would like to al- ways print original material forwarded to us by our members, we realize that this cold winter weather has sent a lot of you into a sort of a semi-permanent hibernation for the duration. And the only time you come out is when the North Star News hits your mailbox around the first of each month. This article was originally written by Continental Comments Editor Emeritus, Tim How- ley, and first appeared in the May/June 2001 issue of Comments. It is an interesting story about Welcome to the one of our long time members, Gordy Jensen and his passion for slab-sided Continentals.

  • 1999 Saturn Sc2
    1999 SATURN SC2 Saturn is the General Motors division that likes to say it sells “a different kind of car”. The 1999 SC coupe fits this description in that it has an innovative third door on the left side, to facilitate access to the rear. Interior and trunk Getting in and out of a car this low requires a fair amount of flexibility. The front buckets are comfortable though broad-shouldered people would probably appreciate a wider backrest at shoulder level. Access to the rear is facilitated by a small door on the left that opens front-to-back like the “suicide” door on some pickups. Unique in a car, the door would be appreciated more if it provided access to a comfortable seat. This is not the case: the backrest is straight and poorly shaped, the seat cushion is not much better, and head and leg room are tight. In short, a seat for emergencies and short hops. The third door creaked on bumps, something we hope is limited to our test car. The trunk is relatively big and easy to load, and has a handy storage space for windshield washer containers and other such things. Folding the 60/40 split seat frees up more space. Safety and convenience Much quieter inside than the other Saturns we’ve tested, the SC2’s interior is also better finished. However, using the controls in general, and the turn signal and windshield wiper levers in particular, still requires more effort and concentration than is acceptable in this day and age. Storage spaces are relatively limited but handily located.
