Claritin commercial with Jeff Corwin. Square bezel fj40
Yeah I spotted that one too. They don't give it enough air time in.

Youtube it then pause it. It goes by in a flash. The 62 in the at&t 4g commercial gets plenty of airtime.

Always cool to pull into a clients house for a property review and find a cruiser! Needless to say I spent more time on the cruiser review than the property review.
Owned by a national tv personality. Sits at their beach house for summer runs. Must have come from someone on this forum. Looks like a frame swap. Clean frame, totally shot body. Chebby motor and boat vinyl interior. Smart for a beach cruiser.

And you're gonna hold out on us?
Hey Yodafrick this one looks hot...it's for sale?

Not for sale. Better ones out there. Every square inch of metal around all glass and rain gutters look like someone had at it with a shotgun although typical areas are clean. Oddest cruiser rust I've seen. Still a cool truck though.
And sorry but unfortunately we must carry a code of silence with quite a few of our clients.

Still open right? Steep little place IIRC. But everything is steep when you're ten. What was your home mountain?
Sonnenberg Ski Area
my dad was general manager, lift repair tech, groomer, rental shop guru, mowed summers with unimog. Mom sold tickets. First terrain park in US; Jump Trail, we would build a huge jump fresh every day.One of first areas with actual mapped and cleaned glades. Open weekends and holidays, $5/day.
One of first ski areas to embrace snowboarding: my friend Jim and I were THE FIRST snowboarders ever tested and accepted on the National Ski Patrol, 1988.
Too bad the snow ran out in the mid eighties...
so cruiser relevance:
Dad drove thruogh three 55's and three 60's and a 62 while running that hill. they would rust out from new in like 3-4 years, he would sell them off to one of the older ski patrols>>Stuart Levasseur! (early YT member)who usually beat them up for another year or three
I learned to drive in the 85 60. Dad took me up to the ski hill, put it in low, and said go.
Four weeks later he busts me spinning donuts in the lot...my buddy had a sammy lifted, he could do donuts round a telephone pole tighter and tighter til he was touching the pole out the window while going around, crazy, he had a camaro that would lay 75 feet of rubber in third going 60 too

Sweet! That story makes me jones for a pot of coffee and your kitchen counter.
Cruiser content... saw this today in my travels
Morris cruck. Fabbed frame, 40 axles, mini transfer?, rear steer, mini steering column and ignition, chebby motor.
That's a cruiser t-case its looks offset to the right. I'm guessing 3spd or 4spd and it has the e-brake on the output.

That's a a great story! I just met Stuart a few weeks ago, too. Great guy.

Yeah the more I look at it, the more it looks like a total 40 chassis. Springs, etc. Nose on tranny looked longer. I'll have to go back with more time and check out the frame. Looked like 2X4 straight rails iirc.
3spd case, chevy tranny
