Come with me and let´s take a trip
Where the scene is tough and the folks are hip
I can´t tell a lie ´cause it ain´t no myth
I´m talking about A Hundred Twenty Fifth
Foxy ladies everywhere
Skin tight jeans and jazzy hair
Clothes for the body, shoes for the feet
And lots of tasty things to eat
One Hundred Twenty Fifth Street
The people and the concrete
The hottest spot to work and play
Main Street, Harlem, USA
Original paintings on the walls
Music stores and bingo halls
Apollo´s gone, but that´s OK
There´s lots of music anyway
The Baby Grand is still going strong
Celebrity Club rocks all night long
Sikulu Records is on the case
And Bobby´s chillin´out in the same old place
Lots of folks have passed this way
Malcom X and Billie Holiday
Fidel Castro, The Commodores
Heads of State and troubadours
The Count, The Duke, The Pres, The Bird
Have bought music and that´s my word
Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder
Have all come for Harlem´s thunder
Marcus Garvey and JFK
Meadowlark Lemon and Doctor J
And Doctor Martin Luther King
All came to Harlem to do their thing
Louis, Jack Johnson and Ali
The heavyweight to name but three
Bill Bojangles and James Brown
Spent their time in Harlem Town
Con-men, poets, saints and sinners
Three time losers and all time winners
Politicians, fools and sages
Enough to fill a million pages
So take the trip and come alive
The A train stops at One-Twenty-Five
Where I was born one August day
On Main Street, Harlem, USA

Sam Hanks, pilote d'IndyCar et employé chez Bill Murphy Buick, était l'assistant ingénieur, le chef d'équipe et le pilote d'essai de la voiture. Durant ses deux années de compétition, de septembre 1955 à septembre 1957, elle remporta neuf victoires au classement général et dix-huit victoires de catégorie sur les circuits du sud de la Californie, de Torrey Pines à Riverside. Murphy participa à la course du Trophée Del Monte en 1956, dernière édition des Pebble Beach Road Races.
This car competed in the 1950s Sports Racing Cars race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011. It's the 1953 Kurtis 500S of Geraint Owen which is chassis KK45 and has a 331 cu in (5,424cc) Chrysler V8 engine. Frank Kurtis is best known for the Indianapolis 500 race winners of the 1950s, but he also built the Kurtis roadsters that were basically Indianapolis 500 cars with a two seater body. These were very successful in the USA, particularly on the winding circuits of the West Coast where they frequently beat the more sophisticated imported European cars.

Heute kam Amselmann Kurti mal wieder zu Besuch und schmetterte voller Inbrunst eine Arie (wird Klaus freuen)! - Today blackbird Kurti came to visit once again and he was singing fervently an aria!
This car took part in the Flockhart Trophy Race for Pre-1961 Front-Engined Racing Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011. It's the 1957 Kurtis KK500G Offenhauser of Stuart Harper, driven in the race by Frederick Harper, which was shown in the programme of the event as a 4.2 litre Kurtis Indy Roadster. This is the car that Ray Crawford took to the Indianapolis 500 race in 1957 and 1958 as the Meguiar Mirror Glaze Special, but failed both times to qualify for the race. Ray Crawford took part in the Race of Two Worlds round the banked oval at Monza with the car in both 1957 and 1958, one-sided exhibition events that pitted American Indianapolis cars against a motley collection of European cars. The race in both years consisted of three heats with the winner being the best car over the three races. In 1957 Ray Crawford's results in the heats were seventh, fourth and retired, and in 1958 tenth, eighth and fourth.

Kurtis era un fabricante de coches de carreras tipo Indy. En los 50 decidió aprovechar algunos de los chasis de sus bólidos para venderlos como deportivos de calle. Éste es uno de ellos.
Sunny Isles Beach (SIB, officially City of Sunny Isles Beach) is a city located on a barrier island in northeast Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. The city is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west.
Sunny Isles Beach is an area of cultural diversity with stores lining Collins Avenue, the main thoroughfare through the city.
It is a growing resort area and developers such as Michael Dezer have invested heavily in construction of high-rise hotels and condominiums while licensing the Donald Trump name for some of the buildings for promotional purposes. Sunny Isles Beach has a central location, minutes from Bal Harbour to the south, and Aventura to the north and west.
Sunny Isles Beach was also the 2008 site of MTV's annual "Spring Break" celebration, with headquarters at the local Newport Beachside Resort.
In 1920, Harvey Baker Graves, a private investor, purchased a 2.26-square-mile (5.9 km2) tract of land for development as a tourist resort. He named it Sunny Isles -- The Venice of America.
When the Haulover bridge was completed in 1925, the area became accessible from Miami Beach, attracting developers who widened streams, dug canals and inlets and created islands and peninsulas for building waterfront properties on Biscayne Bay.
In the 1920s, Carl G. Fisher built an all-wooden racetrack with stands for 12,000 spectators, known as the Fulford-Miami Speedway. This event, held on February 22, 1926, dubbed "Carl G. Fisher Cup Race," was a forerunner to the auto races at Sebring and Daytona. In September 1926, after just one race, the track was destroyed by the 1926 Miami Hurricane. This event was held in Fulford-By-the-Sea which is today's North Miami Beach. Sunny Isles Beach was known as North Miami Beach until 1931, then known as Sunny Isles until 1997.
In 1936, Milwaukee malt magnate Kurtis Froedtert bought Sunny Isles. The Sunny Isles Pier was built and soon became a popular destination. Sunny Isles developed slowly until the 1950s when the first single-family homes were built in the Golden Shores area. During the 1950s and 1960s more than 30 motels sprang up along Collins Avenue including the Ocean Palm, the first two-story motel in the U.S. Designed by Norman Giller in 1948 it was developed and owned by the Gingold family for the next 45 years and provided the springboard for Sunny Isles economic development. Tourists came from all over to vacation in themed motels of exotic design along "Motel Row". One motel, The Fountainhead, was so named by its owner, Norman Giller, after the novel by Ayn Rand. As of 2013, the Ocean Palm Motel is closed.[citation needed
In 1982 the half-mile-long Sunny Isles Pier was designated a historic site. In the early-mid 80s, it went through restoration and re-opened to the public in 1986. The pier was severely damaged in October 2005 by Hurricane Wilma. After 8 years, it was remodeled and reopened as Newport Fishing Pier on June 15, 2013.
In 1997, the citizens of the area voted to incorporate as a municipality. Sunny Isles was renamed Sunny Isles Beach. Sunny Isles Beach began major redevelopment during the real estate boom of the early 2000s with mostly luxury high-rise condominiums and some hotels under construction along the beach side of Collins Avenue (A1A) replacing most of the historic one- and two-story motels along Motel Row. In 2011, construction began on two more high-rises, Regalia, located on the northern border of the city along A1A, and The Mansions at Acqualina, located adjacent to the Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach.

A rather late follow on recolour of the weird, wonderful and extremely obscure 1949 Kurtis Sport Car by Matchbox. A very worthy follow I might add which continues with the glossy metallic theme and of course they dare not delete the chromed front and side panels which were a feature of the real Kurtis.
