Moose that it is!!
When I bought the George Moore/Eb Rose 54 ( 15,000 mile 54 w/57 Sebring drivetrain ) Along with the car..came a 16 foot wooden runabout, the 1st 20 years of Corvette news and this giant Mooses head.
Eb Rose who drove Corvettes for Ed Cole in 56/57 as a contract driver was also an avid Sportsman going on hunting and fishing trips with his wife and with george and his wife.
During one trip..Eb's wife killed this big Moose.
When my daughter and I made the long second trip to Houston from Arkansas..to pick up the boat.. the Mooses head was mounted in Georges garage. Georges wife said..do you want the Mooses head? If so let me call Jean Rose as it belongs to her. One phone call later..my daughter and I were taking the Mooses head off the garage wall.
It was too big to fit on or in the Suburban so we placed it in the back pod of the runabout boat.
It made quite a scene hauling that boat back to Arkansas 12 hours..with that giant Mooses head sticking out of the boat.
Great memories come from our Corvette purchases.
They say money is stored in the back of a mooses head. I haven't checked yet!
When I made a third trip back to Houston and visited with Eb Rose..he had the largest stuffed fish I have ever seen. It must have been 1200 pounds and 16 feet long mounted in his garage. He snagged it off the coast of Galveston fishing with his friends the Edelbrocks ( sound familiar ).
By the way Eb's wife..Jean Rose was a Texas Beauty Queen. Eb, his wife to be Jean and AJ Foyt grew up on adjoining ranches and were life long friends.
Happy Holidays!!
