Is that where it came from? I wondered. I looked it over pretty good when I saw the car. Liked it. Wouldn't mind one like it for mine, just a different color. Not going to be driving my car with white gloves! LOL!!!

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Yes, 1962 Wolfman Jack.

Robert Weston Smith was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1938. Smith was a big fan of radio when he was growing up and turned this love of radio into a career.

Smith started out in Virgina as"Daddy Jules" in 1960 before moving to Shreveport, Louisiana where he DJ'd under the name "Big Smith". In Shreveport, he eventually changed his on-air name to what he became more famously known for Wolfman Jack.

In 1962 Wolfman Jack took his act south of the border, working in Rosarito Beach for XERB-AM.

Here he was able to broadcast free of FCC regulations and do whatever he wanted. The station became known as the Mighty 1090 in California and is reported to be able to be heard at night all the way up in New York and parts of Canada. When the Wolfman was broadcasting from this station, it was rumored that where he was broadcasting was 10 minutes from the Tijuana-San Diego border. He eventually moved his show to Hollywood in 1967 and finished out his radio career in the United States.

Wolfman even starred in the movie American Graffiti which was directed by George Lucas (who went on to make the ultimate fanboy movie trilogy, then ruined it). Wolfman's broadcasts in the movie helped tie together the movie and the main character runs into Wolfman at an important scene in the movie.



When the Wolfman would show up in public for band appearances and emceeing events he would be consistently different because he was unsure of how the Wolfman should appear. He would experiment with different hairstyles and facial hairstyles.

Wolfman Jack did his last radio broadcast on June 30, 1995 before retiring. He mentioned how he had never missed his wife so much and was excited to finally spend time with her. The next day he walked into his home, hugged his wife and had a heart attack. He died in her arms.

In 1996, Wolfman Jack was posthumously inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.

The Wolfman will be forever remembered as one of the pioneers in radio.

I lived in S. Cal for 4 years...and in my car (the white '57 Courier) he WAS the radio! In 1989 I was driving up I-5 after visiting my mom and picking up my grandparents '68 Buick...listening to the Wolfman when the AM radio died...just after Wolfman finished a set in between songs. Last time i heard him as well.

I grew up in western South Dakota, and everyone listened to KOMA Oklahoma  City, their air waves covered a lot of ground also. All of us loved the Wolf Man.  Sure was a very enjoyable time to grow up. Lots different than today,

Boy howdy! I would HATE to be a kid today. So much we had available to enjoy...that they will never know, experience or appreciate. Sad...really sad!

a brave man who feels he should stand in FRONT of his product!

What many people don't understand about bullet proof vests is that even though they keep the bullet from hitting you in a lethal way...broken or at least severely bruised ribs are likely...along with the potential for organ damage. Still hurts like hell!
