The fries could be improved immediately if they just returned to the good old days and cut up fresh taters in the restaurant like in the beginning |

Some of you know about Paul Deesen. He was a designer in the Chevy studio in the late 50's/early 60's and then in the Pontiac studios. He did the front and/or rear ends on some prominent Chevys, he added the "skegs" to the sides of some of the mid 60's full size Pontiacs. He also designed the original GTO fender emblems, the squarebody S/T Blazer, and the interior of the GMC motor home. Like most young men, when he first started working he was quite poor - but he had right priorities. He purchased and drove an early model Corvette (a '57 ) but couldn't afford new tires. They were blackwalls and he wanted whitewalls so he grabbed a white crayon out of the kid's coloring book stash and made his own white stripe tires. After a while the white stripes started wearing off and looking bad. He went back to the crayon box and....no white crayon. So - he grabbed a red one instead. It was typical back then for the studio chiefs to troll the parking lot looking for ideas on employee cars in the lot. Paul's car caught one of the studio bosses' eye and they decided to pursue it. They contacted one of the tire manufacturers and...the rest is history. K http://deansgarage.com/?s=paul+deesen
