Coast is toast!

I just called Coast Automotive for a history lesson and learned that they're history.

All those memories of buying cheap cool stuff for the car at the Main St store in the mid-to-late 60s............chrome exhaust extensions, pinstriping, silicone spray for the tires and seats, Hurst shifters, Baby Moon hubcaps if you were broke (deep-dish chrome-reversed wheels if you weren't), and especially glasspack mufflers that sounded great and drove the Hackensack cops crazy (see http://www.hackensacknow.org/index.php/topic,619).

This rod has reversed direction:
