Shaped like a roll-on deodorant, it was a stick of hair wax for the old flat-top hairdos. Just run it 3-4 times thru your 1/4" of hair, brush back & your flat-top was good-to-go.
Great for mosquitoes buzzin' around your head...they'd get stuck in the wax like a strip of fly-paper.

That was pretty much sarcasm, oaxaca, a 1960 Dart would be a terrible looking low-rider.

zoltron, that's so true, personally I'm a pickup guy myself [didn't catch the sarcasm, the first time].

Hey no prob, my friend. I am also a pick-up truck owner [or 'was' until selling it] & had a 87 Mazda B2200. Bought it with 37,000 miles, used it for contract-hauling newspaper bundles 5 nights a week for 7 yrs. New clutch = 190,000 miles. Everything kinda collapsed = 240,000 hard-driven miles.
I'd swear by Mazda, Nissan, Toyota pick-ups.
