Chris Durden's "apocryphal tales"

[Chris J. Durden]

Neil,
    The term "park special" goes back many decades before those three 
properly convicted felons used them in American National Parks. I seem to 
recall that Watkins and Doncaster had a "park special" in their catalog 
list of 1940's vintage. Perhaps some collector of vintage catalogs can 
enlighten us on this?
