Along with Surf music in the 60’s, the airwaves were filled with songs about hot rods and racing. Among the most famous was “Dead Man’s Curve” by Jan and Dean in 1964. Just two years later, Jan almost died in a wreck on Whittier Drive, just a short way from the real dead man’s curve. The Liberty Records single is worth up to $75.00 with picture sleeve. Ironically, Susan Lynne recorded “Don’t Drag No More.” Apparently, Jan didn’t heed her words. Her 45 with picture sleeve, released on Capitol Records in 1964, is worth up to $150.00 today.
