A lime green Superbird, Frank’s big anthem, and sleeping in a concrete teepee on Route 66.

Evening, friend, Jack Reynolds checking in. December 30 always feels like that quiet pause when the tree is still up but the year is almost done.

Stick close for the lime green muscle car my neighbor laughed at, and for the concrete teepee motel every kid on Route 66 begged to visit. Then we will end with a New Year's memory that smells like caramel corn.

Brings it all back, doesn’t it?

On December 30, 1968, Frank Sinatra stepped into a Hollywood studio and knocked out “My Way” in one take. Paul Anka wrote the lyrics specifically for him, and it became the anthem for a generation. It spent a record 75 weeks on the UK charts. Click to read about that legendary session and why Frank eventually got tired of it.

This 1970 Plymouth Superbird in Limelight Green was built for NASCAR, but you could drive one home for about $4,300. Dealers actually had trouble selling them back then because of that giant wing. Today, clean ones can command over $200,000. My neighbor laughed at the nose cone, but he isn’t laughing now. Click for the aerodynamic specs and the wild auction rise.

Under-the-radar coin with strong community lift, rare institutional interest, and real utility—now at an early entry point with catalysts ahead.

Sleeping in a concrete teepee on Route 66 was every kid’s dream in 1959. Chester Lewis built these units in Holbrook, Arizona, and amazingly, they still stand proud today, listed on the National Register. I remember begging my dad to pull over for a look.

“Tastes Great! Less Filling!” started the loudest argument in sports bars back in 1973. Miller brought in retired pros like Matt Snell to prove light beer wasn't just for dieting, and sales exploded from 3 million to 31 million barrels by 1980. My buddies still argue over which side was right. Click to watch the first debate and pick a side.

Tonight’s ‘Your Memory’ comes from Robert in Nebraska, thinking back to New Year's Eve in 1964. He remembers the kitchen smelling sweet from his mom’s caramel corn. They sat on the braided rug watching Guy Lombardo on the black-and-white console. At midnight, his dad shook his hand like a grown-up. That kind of respect sticks with a boy.

Tonight’s Quote comes from Walt Disney, who reminded us that “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” My dad admired Walt because he built an empire on a mouse and a dream. That kind of grit built this country. You can learn more about him here. Click to read about the man who made magic real.

See you tomorrow. Same time, same station.
