Haven't seen it, but MINI cars are using monster hot rod art in their print ads, so it could be for the Mini.

I took the long way home and checked it out this morning. As guessed it's a monster advt. for Cooper Minis. Not much of a HOT ROD.

I think I saw it on the way back from the Stafford swap. Said something like "Let's reinvent the Hot Rod."

I grew up there, on Kenyon St. in the west end right between Asylum Av. and Elizabeth St., a stone's throw from Elizabeth Park.

I checked out the Mini Web sites and they are using a Ed Roth or Robert Williams style charactures sic in a new advertizing campaign. They supposedly have collector cards of the various pieces of "art". Go figure. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Well I was born and brought up in Milford - is that close enough?

I was in Hartford last Sunday doing a cancer walk but I didn't see the billboard.

Thanks for going out of your way grandpa Bill:)

Deyomatic...I grew up in Milford...like 15 minutes from New Haven. I now reside in the upper class city of Bridgeport.

That is not what I've heard about Bridgeport. Well, I couldn't hear anything over the gunshots! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Just kidding. I grew up in Uncasville, home of Mohegan Sun, but what I miss the most about Ct/New England is Pepe's. Well, Pepe's and the Road Agents Rockabilly Rumble.

Bob Barry lives in that area and has been building hot rods for 25+ years. Bill Leone lives in Uncasville - had a 34 mordoor sedan wiyh Potter trunk for 20 years now has a 41 Ford convert. They both weree/are members of the Golden Rods club.

Just thought you might have run across them.

Nope, I haven't lived there since I was about 11 (1989), LONG before I ever really bacame a car guy.
So, my residence there doesn't really count. Of all the New England states, Ct. is the only one I think I could live in again.

I think this thread explains the billboards.
