THANKS MIKEY FOR POSTING THE PICTURE. THIS IS MY COMMENTS ***
Sugar Ray's Car Wasn't Pink Published: April 30, 1989 LEAD: To the Sports Editor:
To the Sports Editor:
Many of this past week's remembrances of Sugar Ray Robinson have incorrectly recalled his ''pink Cadillac'' - wrong! The car was fuschia (I first learned the color when I saw the beauty in front of his restaurant). Ray would no more have driven a pink Cadillac than Gen. George Patton would have toted pearl-handled revolvers; when that fact was incorrectly attributed to him, Patton pointed out that his weapons were ivory-handled. Ivory for Patton, fuchsia for Robinson. LINTON H. BALDWIN New York
PLEASE POST THIS STORY AND PICTURE OF SUGAR RAY ROBINSONS FAMOUS 'PINK CADILLAC'. THE BIG QUESTION IS - IS THAT OUR 'CHARLIE THE QUINN' (THE WHITE GUY IN THE REAR OUTSIDE THE CAR ) WITH CLASSIC 'FLASHER OUTFIT'. 'SHORT PANTS'? AND A RAINCOAT.? 'HEY LADY "TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY". HE GOT MAD AND RAN OFF WHEN A WOMAN SAID THATS NOT THAT GOOD. HE WAS HEARD TO RUN OFF SHOUTING 'YOU RUINED IT FOR ME' 'YOU RUINED IT FOR ME'. POOR GUY. WHO LOVES YA CHARLIE?. ITS JIMMY THE FLYNN

Jimmy,
NOt me...that pervert in the picture is wearing short pants. I was always NAKED under the rain coat. When my mom said I didn't have to wear short pants anymore and I could wear big boy long pants I'd never wear them short pants again..

OF COURSE YOU WERE NAKED.
WHERES THE FUN OF WEARING SHORTS.?
I STOPPED A GUY IN CENTRAL PARK, WHEN I WORKED THERE ONE SUMMER. I SAID OPEN YOU COAT AND SHOW ME SOME ID.
HE OPENED HIS RAINCOAT AND ONLY HAD THE BOTTOM OF PANTS LEGS ON, HELD UP WITH STRING. JUST SO'S HE LOOKED LIKE HE HAD CLOTHES ON WHEN THE COAT WAS CLOSED.
INGENEOUS IDEA HEH. HA HA HA.

Sugar Ray was not only a great boxer, he was the world's nicest person and best gentleman as far as I'm concerned. He bought his mother a house down the hill near Riverdale in the 5o's. Every so often, he would ride his pink (we didn't know from fuscia) Caddie around and talk to the kids and give out autographs and advice- "stay in school." He once saw my brother -12 at the time- hitch-hiking and invited him in to his mom's house and gave him a glass of lemonade.

JAMES I WANTED TO SEE HIS ID I SAW A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
HE WAS ON THE PROWL IN THE PARK, HE WAS A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
YOU SEE EVERYTHING IN THAT PARK AFTER 12MID. NOONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE THEN. BUT WE USED TO DRIVE TO THE RAMBLES AND PUT THE SIREN ON AND ALL THE GAYS IN NYC WOULD COME OUT AND START RUNNING.

Jimmy, it doesn't surprise me a bit -- My friend used to be a security guard in Fieldston (Right by Van Courtlandt) and used to tell me of similar stories in the nooks and crannies of that section... Also on one side of the Bronx River in Bronx Park, there's a path along the river that got some noteriety over the years...
I dont get it, but i guess its better for them to get their jollies with each other than with the kids at the schools they teach & administrate at...
