Coors was very popular among east coast and midwest auto racers,
particularly drag racers, during the sixties. It wasn't available east
of the Rockies, so it was essentially an "import." In those days the
fastest dragsters were all from California, and the California racers
used empty Coors cans to cover their eight exhaust pipes went the car
was shut off. Their eastern counterparts wanted everything the fast
guys had of course, so getting a set of Coors cans was a major
achievement. Some apparently took the leap of logic that if the cans
were good for covering your pipes, the beer must be good for pouring
down your personal pipe. So guys driving back from the west coast used
to pack as much Coors as they could into their trucks. I guess for
folks who grew up drinking Bud, Miller and Strohs, it probably tasted
okay. Like most other beers, I would guess it's not the same brew today
that it was forty years ago. I can't remember ever trying it.

As you probably can tell I did not like the man, the company, nor the
beer.

I'd

What Coors is, please?
I prefer the right one... I generally tend to tone my b/w stuff to
warm sepia tones... Feeling warm towards the child can only enhance
the photo.
