That cracked me up. You 56 guys are so full of yourselves.
You got that all stiff and upright a pillar. Nothing tops the laid back slant cabs.

I was going to say the '53-'56s were "Effies" but after Bigwin's comment, I'm just going to say '53-'55s are "Effies".

(Just kidding. I really like the '56s too.)

If it hadn't been for the 48-42 Effies there wouldn't have been any 53 and up Effies
